I've noticed that my lips have gotten darker because of some medication side effects, and I'm really worried about it. I used to have naturally red lips, and I'm considering laser treatments to lighten them. Could you help me understand if this is a good option or if there are any other treatments I should look into?

Laser treatment may help lighten dark lips caused by side effects of medical drugs. In addition to laser treatment, you can also consider using a lip lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. It is important to protect your lips from sun exposure by using a lip balm with SPF. Consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis, and I'm seeing some dry red patches. My doctor prescribed some ointments and vitamin tablets, but I've kind of forgotten what exactly I'm supposed to do. I'm wondering if it's okay to use Momate S cream on my scalp because it's really dry and patchy. Could you offer some advice on this?
