I'm really curious about the yag laser treatment for dark lips. I've heard that the results might not last forever. Is it true that they're temporary in all cases? Also, I only smoke once a month and I've been trying to stop lip licking and always apply lip balm with SPF. In this situation, would the results of the treatment last longer or maybe forever? If there's any permanent solution for dark lips, I'd love to know. Would appreciate your advice!

YAG laser treatment for dark lips can provide long-lasting results, but they may not be permanent for all cases. Quitting smoking, avoiding lip licking, and regularly applying lip balm with SPF can help maintain the results for a longer period. Additionally, you can consider permanent treatments like Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy or chemical peels for dark lips. These treatments can offer more permanent results compared to YAG laser treatment.

Question

I've been dealing with a boil on my upper lip, and after getting treatment, it seemed to drain on its own within a week. However, there's still a small hard lump left on my lip, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you tell me if there's a way to completely get rid of it?

Question

I've been dealing with some issues ever since I took phosphorus 30c when I was younger, around 14-18 years old. I think it might've helped increase my hair back then, but now it seems like I'm facing some side effects. I've developed seborrheic dermatitis, and even though I wash my hair daily with shampoo, small hairs keep falling from my scalp. It's been impossible to grow my hair long without things getting worse. It's been around 5 years now, and I'm really struggling. Do you think the phosphorus might've caused this, and what can I do to improve my situation?

Question

I'm really worried about something going on with my scrotum skin. It's gotten really dry, wrinkled, tight, and it's itching a lot, with a bit of redness too. I've tried using talcum powder and moisturizing cream, which helps for a bit, but then the itching comes back. This has been happening for the past couple of days. Could this be just from sweating, or is there a chance it could be something more serious?
