I've got these pink patches on my lower lip after peeling off a small part of the skin. I don't smoke, and there's no itching or anything. How can I get my natural lip color back and fix this uneven lip tone?

It sounds like you may have developed some pigmentation changes on your lips. To help restore your natural lip color and get rid of the uneven pigmentation, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. You can apply this cream to the affected areas twice a day for several weeks. Additionally, using a lip balm with SPF can help protect your lips from further damage and discoloration. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid further picking or peeling of the skin on your lips.

View allMy skin feels super tight and won't bounce back no matter what I try even with lotions or gels. Could this mean I need some kind of medical treatment or surgery? It's really worrying me because nothing seems to help.
If these changes do not bring relief, you may want to see a dermatologist. Very dry skin can require a prescription ointment or cream. Dry skin also can be a sign of a skin condition that needs treatment. A dermatologist can examine your skin and explain what can help reduce your discomfort

I've been dealing with acne and my face is always oily. I'm currently using Lacne Bar and Acnilite ZN but it seems like the issue is getting out of hand. Could you recommend any medication or other ways to help me control the oil and acne?
I recommend adding a topical retinoid cream like Retino-A to your current regimen for acne. Apply a pea-sized amount on the affected areas at night. For oily skin, you can use Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel to control oil production. Additionally, consider using a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser twice a day. Remember to use a non-comedogenic moisturizer like Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture SPF 15 during the day. Make sure to follow this regimen consistently for best results.

I'm really worried because I've got these lipid deposits around my eyes. I've been taking medication for my cholesterol, but these deposits just aren't going away. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing?
The deposits near your eyes could be xanthelasma, which are yellowish cholesterol deposits. In addition to your current cholesterol medication, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a statin medication like atorvastatin to further lower your cholesterol levels and help reduce the deposits. The dosage would depend on your specific condition, so please consult your doctor for the appropriate prescription.
