View allMy lips have gotten thicker from biting them over the years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments? I'm worried about side effects or if the results might turn out worse, especially since it's getting more noticeable as I age and doesn't look great. What are my options?
While lip reduction surgery is the most definitive solution for thickening caused by lip biting, other treatments can help reduce the appearance and address the biting habit. These include non-surgical options like makeup, facial exercises, and staying hydrated, as well as treatments to stop lip biting itself.

I'm really worried about my leg fungal infection. It's been 10 days, and it just keeps getting worse. I've been trying clocip powder, but it's not helping. What should I do next?
It seems like the fungal infection on your leg is not responding to the current treatment. I recommend trying an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole 1% twice a day for at least 2 weeks. In addition, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to help the healing process.
