I've been dealing with scabies for about a week now, and I've been using benzyl benzoate 25 on my body. I've avoided my face and penis area, but now I've noticed some small red bumps on the head of my penis. Is it safe to apply the cream there, or should I try something else? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

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?
