I've been wearing glasses for 15 years and now have deep marks on my nose along with dark circles. Would surgery help fix the dark circles and nose indents or are there other options I should consider first?

While surgery can address nose indentations from glasses and some types of dark circles, it's not always the first or best option. Consider non-surgical treatments for the nose, and a range of options for dark circles before jumping to surgery.

I've been using Sebowash shampoo for about a month based on my doctor's advice, and I'm really pleased with how much better my hair's condition is now. But my doctor mentioned I shouldn't keep using it after my hair improves. I'm wondering, what kind of regular shampoo should I switch to in order to keep my hair healthy?

I'm dealing with Cheilitis and I'm wondering which lip balm might be better for me - Chaptex or NMFe lip care? Do any of these actually help to cure Cheilitis? I'm just trying to make sure I'm using something effective.

Cheilitis can be treated with a lip balm containing ingredients like petrolatum, beeswax, or dimethicone to help protect and moisturize the lips. In this case, NMFe lip care would be a better option for treating Cheilitis due to its moisturizing properties. Apply NMFe lip care multiple times a day as needed to help alleviate symptoms of Cheilitis.
