Can melalumin lightening cream be used on lips to decrease melanin, or do I need to get the specific melalumin lip lightener? The chemist said it would work, but I'm not sure.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I would advise against using Melalumin lightening cream on your lips, even if the chemist says it will work. Here's why:
- Formulation differences: Melalumin lightening cream is formulated for skin use, whereas lip skin is more delicate and requires specialized care. Using a skin cream on lips may cause irritation, dryness, or other adverse reactions.
- Lip safety: Lips lack the protective barrier of skin, making them more susceptible to irritation and damage. Using a skin lightening cream on lips may increase the risk of adverse effects.
- Specific lip concerns: Lip lightening products, like Melalumin lip lightener, are specifically designed to address lip concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation, and fine lines. They may contain ingredients that are more suitable for lip care.
To ensure safety and effectiveness, I recommend using a product specifically designed for lip care, such as Melalumin lip lightener.

View allI'm dealing with really swollen and painful armpits for about a week now. There's nothing visible except for the swelling. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for?
Swollen and painful armpits for a week warrant medical attention; possible causes include infected lymph nodes, hidradenitis suppurativa, or an allergic reaction; apply warm compresses to reduce discomfort and schedule an appointment with a doctor, who may prescribe antibiotics or further testing, such as a biopsy or ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause.

Recently, I had chicken pox and now that the scabs have fallen, I've noticed small white spots left behind in those areas. Will these spots eventually fade on their own, or should I consider seeing a dermatologist? I'm worried about the cost of surgery if it comes to that, so any advice would be really helpful.
That will heal no need to worry,have patience give some time,with time it will settle,use good moisturizer for nourishment.
