I've been thinking about getting a skin lightening treatment and I'm not sure about the best option. I've heard about peeling and laser, and even something called skin lightening surgery, but I'm not really clear on what that involves. Could you give me some advice on what might be the most effective long-term treatment? I'm looking for something that could give lasting results.

I've been having some issues ever since I quit smoking cigarettes back in June. I tried putting a cigarette to my mouth a few days without actually smoking, and my lips burned really badly. Ever since then, they've been swelling on and off. I also started vaping around the same time. Now my lips are swollen, itchy, and they look kind of bruised. Do you think this could be related to quitting smoking or starting vaping? What should I do?

I'm really worried about a burn scar from Dettol. Does anyone know whether it's going to be a permanent mark or will it eventually fade away? And if it does heal, how long does it normally take for new skin to develop?
