I'm 16 and I've noticed my lips have become really dark, like almost black. I don't smoke or anything. They used to be a nice rosy color when I was a kid, and I'm not sure how or when they changed. It's kind of worrying now because I think it looks unhealthy. How can I get my lips back to their rosy shade?

How should I use Onabet SD solution? Should I mix it with water, or just apply it directly? And after applying it, how long should I wait before washing my hair? I'm a bit confused about the instructions and want to make sure I'm doing it right.
To apply Onabet SD solution, you should first wash and dry the affected area thoroughly. Then, apply enough solution to cover the affected area and the surrounding skin. It should be applied directly without diluting it with water. After applying the solution, you should not wash the area for at least 3-4 hours to allow the medication to be absorbed properly. It is recommended to apply Onabet SD solution once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.
