Brief Answer:
Your probelm is of fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

From your description as well as the picture sent by you, it seems you are having fungal infection of the area known as "Tinea".

This is a common type of infection which is due to development if fungus at the local area and is always aggravated by heat, humidity and sweating. It can spread to other areas too, especially at the areas where there is more of sweating is present such as groin and arm pit region.

To take care of this as well as to prevent further spread kindly follow the measure below:

1. At red areas and areas of itching do cold compression over the affected area. Take a wet towel soaked in cold water and apply it for 5-10 minutes for 3-4 times a day.

2. Wear cotton clothes and avoid synthetic clothes.

3. Stay in cool environment (preferably AC) and avoid sweating.

4. Take two time bath once in morning and at night time which will soothe your skin and prevent the aggravation of the problem

5. Do not Pinch pop or squeeze or rub any area.

6. Do not use any deodorants or any cosmetics over and near the affected area.

For the treatment part I advise my patients to apply "Sertacaonazole with Beclamethasone cream" or "Clotrimazole with Beclamethasone cream"in a very thin layer two time a day.

For the itching part Tablet Loratadine or Des-loratadine can be taken 2 times a day if moderate itching is present. An anti-fungal tablet is worth to prevent further spread. The anti-fungal tablet containing "Terbinafine" in it can be taken for 7-14 days in your kind of problem.

Wish you good health

Brief Answer:
Your lip condition is a simple boil

Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,

I have gone through the recent pictures sent by you. Your lip condition is a simple boil only. It will heal in 2-3 days. Do not try to pinch or pop it. It will heal by itself. At the maximum you can take a pain killer tablet if there is a pain in it. If you feel there is increase in size or there is severe pain then can take suggestions from us.

Now for the terbinafine tablet is quite OK or in my patients I prescribe tablet terbicip, onabet B cream and lorfast tablet as a part of treatment for 7-14 days. You can take these accordingly.

Wish you good health
