Question

I've noticed some white patches on the skin of my penis. They don't really hurt, but they just seem odd to me. Could you guide me on where I should go for treatment and what type of doctor I should consult to address this issue?

Question

I've been noticing there's a white spot on one of my nails lately. I have diabetes and hypertension, so I'm a bit worried. Could this be related, and how can I treat it? What would you suggest I do next?

Question

I've been dealing with exfoliative cheilitis for around 6 years now, ever since I started taking some antibiotics, and it's been really tough. My lips get all flaky and dry, and the skin turns white when it hits water. There's even this white vermilion line forming where my lips touch. I'm really curious if there's any kind of treatment that can help with this. Any advice would be great!

Question

I'm really worried about some skin issues I've been facing. I tried using apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and multani mitti on a few spots on my face. I left it on for about 20 minutes and washed it off. But then, those areas turned frosted and by the next morning, they started to look brown. I made the mistake of trying to peel them off and now it feels like it's burning a lot, with pinkish skin showing underneath. I'm really concerned about scarring. I'm currently using hydrocortisone 1 cream and keeping the areas moisturized, but I'm not sure what else I should do. How long will it take for my skin to heal and return to normal? Any advice or precautions would be really appreciated.
