I've stopped smoking, but my lips are still really dark from it. It's been years of smoking and now I'm dealing with this lip hyperpigmentation issue. What can I do to get my lips back to a normal color? Any advice or treatments that might help?

I've been dealing with acne issues for the past two months and it's been really tough on me. I've had darkness around my mouth and on my eyelids since I was a kid, and the acne is making everything worse. I get breakouts all the time and my skin has become so oily. Even though I wash my face every few hours, it gets oily again really quickly. It's making me feel so self-conscious whenever I'm talking to someone face to face. I just want to clear up my skin. I've tried so many creams, but nothing seems to work. The pimple marks just keep getting darker. I also have dandruff and use a special shampoo to manage it, which has helped a bit. But now I'm dealing with a lot of hair loss when I comb or wash my hair. Do you have any home remedies that could help with my acne and hair fall? It's really affecting my self-esteem.
