Can I use Elocon cream to make my lips a rose color? A friend of mine suggested it, but I'm really curious if it's actually safe to use like this. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? And if it is safe, how exactly should I apply it?

Elocon cream should not be used to change the color of your lips, as it can cause serious side effects, especially with prolonged use. Its best to focus on natural, safe methods to enhance lip color or consult a dermatologist for advice on how to achieve the desired results safely.
