My lips have gotten thicker from biting them over the years. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other treatments? I'm worried about side effects or if the results might turn out worse, especially since it's getting more noticeable as I age and doesn't look great. What are my options?

While lip reduction surgery is the most definitive solution for thickening caused by lip biting, other treatments can help reduce the appearance and address the biting habit. These include non-surgical options like makeup, facial exercises, and staying hydrated, as well as treatments to stop lip biting itself.

I'm really concerned about my wife's skin. Before we got married, she had such clear skin, but just a month after the wedding, she started breaking out with acne. It's gotten so bad that it's really affecting her mood, making her feel depressed. We've already seen a couple of dermatologists, but nothing seems to help. We even went to a gynecologist, and they mentioned it might be due to hormonal imbalance. We're feeling pretty lost right now. Any advice on what we could do next?
The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated
