I've noticed these soft, fatty lumps under the skin on my hands and legs they don't hurt but they're bothering me. Could these be lipomas? I'm open to surgery if that's the best option but wanted to check what treatments are usually recommended for this

It's possible the soft, fatty lumps you're experiencing are lipomas. These benign growths are harmless and often don't require treatment, but if they're bothersome or causing symptoms, removal options like surgical excision or liposuction are available.

My lips are getting darker every day and I don't know why. I don't smoke or use caffeine, and I avoid putting any local products on my lips. Every time I see a dermatologist, they don't even check my lips and just say laser surgery is the only option. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Dark lips can be caused by various factors beyond local products, including sun exposure, dehydration, and even underlying medical conditions. While laser surgery might be an option, it's crucial to explore other possibilities and consider your own risk tolerance
