Why do I get blisters on my fingers and sores on my body if I eat processed sugar, oatmeal, butter, ordinary wheat flour, honey, or milk?

I'm 30 years old. It's been like this since December 2016. I saw a doctor in April 2017 (before I realized the connection between sugar & the outbreaks) who took pictures and sent them to a dermatologist, and eventually prescribed Dermovate, saying that it may be eczema or dermatitis. While Dermovate helps with the sores & blisters, it doesn't explain why this happens if I eat the foods I mentioned. Nobody else in the house has this reaction eating the same foods.

I would recommend you consult a dermatologist directly. It is possible you have dermatitis herpetiformis which is a blistering rash that occurs in response to gluten proteins.

My lips were smaller and regular when i was smaller. But I am 16 and they are bigger, which was "normal to most doctors" but I don't believe so. Also they are constantly chapped and bleeding, with tons of wrinkles. What kind of help do I need to get?

I have a wart on my finger. I tried to use a wart remover pad but it didn’t work. Now the skin around the wart has redness and pain. I’m not sure if this is because I replaced the pad every day instead of every 48 hours. Due to COVID-19, I don’t want to go to the clinic at this moment. So, I’d like to know if it’s ok not to go to see a doctor until 2 or 3 months later. Thank you very much! ^_^
