Question

My mom's been dealing with these mouth ulcers for about a year now, and we've tried a bunch of medicines and gels, but nothing seems to work. Those white patches just heal and then pop up somewhere else, and it really burns when she's eating. We've consulted several doctors, and they've said it might never cure. Is there any permanent solution for this? It's been really tough seeing her go through this.

I've been using Fucibet cream since 2010, and every time I try to stop, I start having issues like itchy red spots on my skin, some bumpiness, and my eyes start watering a lot. I'm seeing a homeopathic practitioner, but it hasn't solved the problem yet. Could you suggest a good homeopathic doctor who might be able to help with this?

Question

I had chicken pox a couple of months back, and now I've noticed my scalp is really dry. Just today, I lost several hairs from the area where the pox marks were. I'm worried if the skin will eventually regenerate hair in that spot. Could this be a long-term issue?

Question

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but my skin's really irritated after applying it. I know the irritation might go away after a few weeks, but now I've got this dark line on one side of my lip that isn't fading. Do you think this will become a permanent black patch or is it likely to disappear on its own?
