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?

View allI'm a guy in my mid-20s and had a healthy sex life before. I got a hair transplant in February, and my dermatologist recommended I use More F5 solution with topical 5% minoxidil and finasteride. After using it for about 17 days, applying 10 drops once a day on the transplanted area, I started having ED problems. I stopped using it immediately. It's been like 15 days since I stopped, and I might be a bit better, but I'm honestly not sure. My dermatologist then suggested minovera, which is just the topical 5% minoxidil without finasteride, and after only 2 days, I had the same erection issues, using it the same way as before. Now it's been 7 days since I quit minovera, but I'm still having ED issues. I've read reviews where people say they had these side effects even after stopping minoxidil for three months. My dermatologist says it's just temporary and all in my head since the half-life of minoxidil is 24 hours. I'm really convinced it's not just in my mind. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like youve experienced some concerning side effects after using minoxidil and finasteride, which can sometimes affect sexual health. While your dermatologist is correct that these effects can be temporary, it's important to address your concerns seriously. I recommend consulting with a urologist or another specialist to explore any underlying issues and to get personalized guidance on managing these symptoms.

I've noticed my skin has darkened after using ezanic gel and minoz bpo. I'm really concerned. Is this a common reaction, or do you think I should consult with a doctor about it?
