I've noticed this lump on my right hip and initially thought it might turn into a boil, but it hasn't. Instead, it's become hard and painful. Any idea who I should see about this?

I've had a naturally thick lower lip since childhood but now at 19 it seems to be getting even thicker while my upper lip stays small. Are there any natural ways to reduce the size of my lower lip without surgery

Non-surgical lip reduction options are limited. Lip exercises have minimal effect. Surgery is the most effective option for size reduction.

I've got a mark on my face from some stitches and I'm really hoping it can be removed. Could you please let me know if that's possible and what the options might be? I'm quite concerned about it.

Stitch marks on the face can be challenging to completely remove, but various treatments can help minimize their appearance; consider consulting a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for options like: topical silicone gel or sheeting, steroid injections, laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels to help flatten and fade the scars.
