I've been getting this weird mark that looks like a hickey on my neck. It's shown up three times in the exact same spot since last fall. The thing is, I know it's definitely not a hickey, and it doesn't itch or hurt. I'm pretty nervous because I haven't done anything that might cause it. I'm 39 and in decent health, and even using hydrocortisone cream hasn't helped. It's hard to see a doctor because by the time I get an appointment, it disappears. It just pops up out of nowhere. What do you think might be going on?

View allI've had vitiligo for the past three months and I'm really worried can stress actually cause it? Also is surgery an option to treat my patches? They're spreading and I don't know what to do
Yes, stress can play a role in both the development and progression of vitiligo. While not the direct cause, stress can trigger or worsen vitiligo in individuals who are genetically predisposed or have other risk factors. Surgery, including skin grafting or melanocyte transplantation, is a treatment option for vitiligo, particularly for areas with stable disease and where other methods have not been effective

I've been struggling with my lips being dry, chapped, and sticky pretty much all year round. It's honestly driving me crazy! Sometimes they're so dry that they hurt, and they're always sticky, which makes speaking really frustrating. I've even attached some photos. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

I've been using Safi for the past two months to help with blood purification and acne, and so far, I haven't noticed any side effects. But I'm getting mixed messages; some people say it's safe, while others warn of possible side effects. I'm feeling a bit confused and wonder if it's okay to continue using it. Should I keep using Safi for its benefits, or are there risks I should be worried about? I really need some professional guidance on this.
Safi blood purifier is a herbal remedy that is commonly used for blood purification and acne. While some people may not experience any side effects from using Safi, it is important to note that herbal remedies can still have potential side effects and interactions with other medications. If you have been using Safi for 2 months without any noticeable side effects, it may be safe for you to continue using it. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting or continuing any new medication or supplement. If you are looking for alternative options, you can consider using topical acne treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid for acne, and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for blood purification.
