I'm really curious about the yag laser treatment for dark lips. I've heard that the results might not last forever. Is it true that they're temporary in all cases? Also, I only smoke once a month and I've been trying to stop lip licking and always apply lip balm with SPF. In this situation, would the results of the treatment last longer or maybe forever? If there's any permanent solution for dark lips, I'd love to know. Would appreciate your advice!

YAG laser treatment for dark lips can provide long-lasting results, but they may not be permanent for all cases. Quitting smoking, avoiding lip licking, and regularly applying lip balm with SPF can help maintain the results for a longer period. Additionally, you can consider permanent treatments like Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy or chemical peels for dark lips. These treatments can offer more permanent results compared to YAG laser treatment.

Ive been having these boil-like pimples in my suprapubic area again. I had the same issue about a year ago and it hung around for two years before disappearing on its own. Now, after about 9 months of being clear, theyve come back in the same spot. Im seeing about 10 of them now, and a couple have started growing on my penis too. Last year, I had a skin biopsy and the doctor said it wasnt cancerous, but Im worried since theyre popping up again. Im sexually active and I do drink whisky or beer pretty often. Can you tell me what this might be, what causes it, and if theres a permanent treatment for it?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotion above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
