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.

Question

I've been having a really annoying issue with my scalp lately. It's super itchy and flaky, and there's a bunch of hair falling out. On top of that, it's like I'm getting these grainy, salt-like particles on my scalp that itch as well. It's honestly driving me nuts because my scalp feels dirty just a day after I wash it. I've been using Head & Shoulders but it's not helping. What could be going on with my scalp? Any advice on how to fix this?

Question

I'm worried because I've been masturbating every day and I feel like I'm looking older than I actually am. Can regular masturbation really make someone look older? What are some natural ways to tackle this concern? Would stopping masturbation altogether and including physical exercises in my daily routine help me look my age again? I would really appreciate some guidance on how to address this issue.
