I've had alopecia universalis for a year and my doctor prescribed decdan 0.5 to take every weekend 5 on Sunday and 5 on Saturday. But I'm getting ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair surgery on my knee next week. Should I keep taking the medicine or stop it before the surgery? I'm a bit worried about how it might affect the procedure or recovery.

I'm really concerned about my lip color. My upper lip is much darker compared to my lower lip, and I really want them to have a rosy hue. Are there any remedies or treatments you would recommend to help even out the color? I could really use some advice.
To achieve rosy lips and reduce the darkness of your upper lip, try these remedies: apply a mixture of lemon juice, honey, and sugar; exfoliate with a gentle lip scrub; use a lip balm or lip gloss containing natural ingredients like beetroot, turmeric, or pomegranate; massage your lips with coconut oil or olive oil; and avoid smoking, excessive tea or coffee consumption, and exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
