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

I'm 26 years old and I've been dealing with Alopecia Areata. My dad's bald and I'm starting to see the bald areas emerging too, especially on the crown of my head. My hair seems to be falling out in a pattern more and more these days. Is there anything that could help me avoid going completely bald, at least for the next five years?

I recommend you start using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, you can take Finasteride 1mg tablet once daily to help prevent further hair loss and promote hair regrowth. These medications can help slow down the progression of balding and maintain your hair for at least 5 years.
