My upper lip has gotten thicker and I'm not happy with how it looks. I really don't want to go for surgery are there any home remedies or natural ways to make it thinner? What can I try at home to reduce the thickness?

Try cold compresses, turmeric, and facial massages for thick lips. If no change, consult a dermatologist. Surgery is a last resort.

I'm really curious about azelaic acid. Does it actually help with both active acne and the reddish-brown spots that are left after acne? I'm looking for something that can tackle both issues, and I'm wondering if this might be it.

I'm trying to figure out which scar gel works best in the shortest amount of time. I've come across Mederma scar gel and Scae end silicone gel. Could you please recommend which one might be more effective for quicker results? I'm really looking for something that works fast.

I recommend using Mederma scar gel. Apply a thin layer of Mederma gel on the scar 3-4 times a day for at least 8 weeks to see improvement.
