I got Rica waxing over the weekend, and now I'm noticing some patches on my arms and underarms. They're pretty visible and have me worried, especially since there are more under my arms. I've tried using ice and Aloe vera gel today. What can I do to get rid of these patches? I'm really concerned about it.

My 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.
