Can I use Fair and Lovely every day, or could it be harmful to my skin? I have a darker complexion and am wondering if there's a safer alternative to lighten my skin tone.

I'm a bit confused about using halotop. Should I apply it before or after I wash my hair? And should I be putting it directly on my scalp or just on my hair? I'm not sure what's best.
You should use Halotop after washing your hair. Apply it directly on the scalp, not on the hair. Use a small amount and gently massage it into the scalp.

I'm just wondering if drinking a lot of caffeine could cause lipomas or encourage them to grow. I usually have black coffee twice a day. Should I be concerned about this?
Drinking excessive caffeine or black coffee is not directly linked to causing lipomas or helping them grow. Lipomas are benign tumors composed of body fat, and their exact cause is unknown. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is important. If the lipomas are causing any discomfort or concern, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
