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?

I'm really concerned about my hair loss and I'm wondering if it's possible for telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss to overlap, and if so, can this be treated or cured? Also, what exactly causes these issues with hair loss? It's really been bothering me and I would love some insights or advice on what to do next.

Telogen effluvium is usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, while female pattern hair loss is often genetic. To treat Telogen effluvium, minoxidil solution can be used twice daily on the scalp. For female pattern hair loss, medications like finasteride can be prescribed to help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is important to address the underlying causes and follow a consistent treatment plan for best results.
