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.

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.

I'm really worried about this situation. I used podowart paint on my warts, and after about four days, the warts did fall off, but now my foreskin is swollen, red, and there's a brown discharge coming from my penis. It's painful, and there's been a bit of bleeding starting too. I saw a doctor who prescribed an antibiotic, but it hasn't helped with the pain or bleeding yet. Plus, I'm dealing with diabetes. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
