I woke up this morning with some bruises on my inner thighs, and it's kinda weird because I haven't been doing any intense physical stuff. They're not hurting when I touch them, though. I usually sit in a funny way at work, like with one foot under my leg, but I'm not sure if that could cause such dark purple bruising. What's going on here?

I've noticed a lot of white spots on my upper lip and the lip line. They aren't painful, but they look like an allergy or something unusual. I use lip moisturizer every day, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could you suggest what might help get rid of them?

I'm thinking about starting cod liver oil capsules 'cause I've heard it does wonders for the skin and hair. But before I jump in, I'd love to know more about the benefits and any side effects I should be aware of. Also, any advice on the right dosage and when's the best time to take them?

Cod liver oil capsules are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin D, which can provide numerous benefits for skin and hair health. The omega-3 fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and may reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin texture. They can also promote hair growth and strength. However, it's important to note that cod liver oil capsules may have some side effects, such as a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, and nausea. Recommended dosage is 1-2 capsules per day.
