Question

I'm really struggling with exfoliative cheilitis that I've had for about 12 years. The entire layer of skin on my upper and lower lips keeps peeling, and it's so sore and red underneath. I've got loads of Fordyce spots on my top lip too. I've tried attaching some pictures of my lips before. Nothing seems to work. I've tried almost every medication - tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, Calendula ointment, and even Sebamed lip balm. None of these topical treatments have made any difference. I even went through a multivitamin course, hoping it would help, but no luck. I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling them, but that just made things worse, with them becoming more inflamed. The skin turns white when it gets wet and peels every day. I've seen many dermatologists who've prescribed creams, but nothing has worked so far. Is there any kind of surgical option that might help since the treatments just aren't doing anything?

Question

I've been dealing with a fissure for the past 6 months and had to use sitz baths in warm water. Now I'm experiencing a burning sensation on my scrotum, and I'm also diabetic. The right side of my scrotum is painful, especially at the upper end. I'm really getting mentally frustrated with all of this. What could be going on? Can you help?

Question

I'm 25 and haven't been able to grow a beard or moustache. Is there anything I can do to help with hair growth? I'm curious if there's a solution or treatment that could help with this.
