You might have­ dry, cracked sores at the mouth corne­rs. This issue is angular cheilitis. It happens due­ to things like saliva, germs, or lacking nutrients. To he­lp, put a thin layer of petroleum je­lly or lip balm that has moisturizers like shea butte­r on your lips. Drink lots of water. Eat a balanced diet full of good foods for he­aling.

To effectively treat pimples and dark marks on your face, it's important to consult a dermatologist.

I m 35 years old male. Last three days I got a sudden bump while rubbing my penis. The bump is not going away and I am also taking antibiotic tablet still no improvement

Male | 35

Antibiotics will not necessarily clear up every problem, as sometimes it is not even a bacterial issue. Be sure to watch for other symptoms like pain and changes in the look. Setting a meeting with a dermatologist is good advice and he will check you out thoroughly and suggest the best treatment. It is a must to have professional support for the proper identification and treatment.

  1. Resistant acne and severe acne not responding to conventional treatments needs the consultation of a qualified dermatologist. Most of the times resistant acne has underlying hormonal imbalance which has to be diagnosed and addressed. Certain conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, steroid abuse, certain drugs may be cause of severe acne. A dermatogist may advise certain blood investigations, to understand the cause behind acne and may prescribe drugs like Oral contraceptive pills, oral retinoids or antibiotics along with procedural treatment to treat the acne and long term resolution
  2. Genetic tone of skin cannot be changed. However tan or any other acquired skin pigmentation can be improved by topical creams, sunscreens etc. chemical peels, laser toning and other  procedures can help in stubborn pigmentation

Good day, I want to consult you regarding a congenital nevus and a female child aged 7.5 years. The nevus is visible at the back of the back, measuring 2-2.5cm vertically and 1-1.5cm horizontally. Is it safe to remove the nevus, is it possible to remove it completely, without leaving any cell that would continue to grow and become malignant. Is it safe in the sense that there is no risk of turning into melanoma if it is split? Thank you in advance for asking, Nice day

Female | 7

A birthmark that grows is calle­d congenital nevus. Most are harmle­ss, but removal could help if it bothers your child or risks be­coming melanoma (cancer). Talk to a dermatologist. If re­moval is best, they'll do it carefully to minimize­ any left cells that could maybe be­come cancerous. Watch for changes. Follow the doctor's advice­.
