I'm really worried because half of my lower lip has turned pink and it looks pretty ugly. I don't smoke or anything, so I'm confused and concerned about what's going on. Can you help me figure out why this might have happened and if there's a way to fix it permanently?

I'm dealing with some pretty significant hair fall and I'm really hoping to put a stop to it and get my hair to be thick and dense again.
