View allI'm using this Botanica 3D serum and Cetaphil cleanser because I'd lost my facial glow from past steroid use. My specialist suggested this regimen, and thankfully, my glow is back and no issues so far. How long should I keep up with this routine? Should I stick with it or think about switching things up?

I'm curious about getting rid of some old blade cut marks I've had on my arm for almost 8 years now. What's the best way to treat them, and what kind of cost should I expect?
To remove old blade cut marks on your arm, you can consider undergoing laser therapy. Laser therapy can help reduce the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. One commonly used medication for this purpose is Mederma, which is a topical gel containing onion extract. It is recommended to apply Mederma on the scar twice daily for at least 3 months to see visible results. Additionally, silicone gel sheets like ScarAway can also be used to flatten and fade the scars. As for the cost, the price of laser therapy sessions can vary depending on the size and severity of the scars, as well as the number of sessions required.

I'm noticing these white spots or bumps at the corners of my lips, and I'm not sure why they're there or how to get rid of them. Also, my lips have become quite dark, and I don't even smoke. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to improve it? Would love some guidance on this.
dermatologist opinion is advised.
