I'm really worried about my 5-year-old daughter. She's got head lice and nits, and we've tried using P Scab soap with Permethrin 1, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a more effective way to get rid of them?

Hey, I've noticed a small lump on my face situated between my right eye and the bridge of my nose. It's hard and doesnt hurt when I touch it, so I'm not sure if I should be worried. Should I get it checked out, or is it something I shouldn't be too concerned about?

I've never been a smoker, but my lips are really dark, and I'm desperate to lighten them. I've tried a bunch of home remedies like lemon, honey, and beetroot, but nothing seems to work. What else can I do to help get rid of this?

Darkening of lips could be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, dehydration, Sun exposure. Identify the cause and address it. Use a lip balm with spf 15 or higher to protect them.Ensure you drink plenty of water daily. use a gentle scrub to exfoliate dead skin 2-3 times a week. use moisturising and hydrating lip balms.
