My sister has been dealing with white patches on both sides of her lower lips, around 2 cm each, for the past 3 years. We've tried treatments but nothing worked, and now the doctor is suggesting surgery. She's really upset because it's affecting her confidence and even marriage prospects. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat these white patches?

I'm really not sure what this thing is, but it's been there for almost a month now. It doesn't hurt too much, but sometimes it gets bigger and then other times it gets smaller. I'm just not able to make it go away. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about this condition on my leg. There's something like "KARATMarathi" there, and the blood around it has just turned into a solid red clot under my skin. It looks really concerning and I'm unsure if what I'm doing is right. I've started taking DISPERZYME and CEFCHAMP 325, twice every day, as prescribed. Do you think I'm on the right track to treat this issue, or should I consider something else?

Karat (Marathi word) typically refers to a boil or abscess.

I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?
