I've been having some hair fall issues, so my doctor put me on these B12 supplements. But after about two weeks, I started getting really bad reactionslike rashes and acne on my hands and face. I stopped the supplements immediately, but it's been over a week, and my acne is still there and hasn't improved at all. Should I be doing something specific to help with this, or will it just clear up on its own eventually? I'm kind of worried and not sure what to do next.

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 was caught in the rain yesterday and got soaked from head to toe. Today, I've noticed a red rash around my butt cheek. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be from staying in wet clothes too long, and what would be the best way to treat it?
