I'm having a hard time maintaining an erection when I'm with my wife, but I don't seem to have this issue when I watch porn. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

Chemical Peels for Lip Darkness

Effectiveness

Temporary improvement: Chemical peels can help reduce lip darkness temporarily.

Fading of melanin: Chemical peels contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) that help fade melanin, reducing lip darkness.

Types of Chemical Peels for Lips

Glycolic acid peel: A popular choice for lip peels, glycolic acid helps exfoliate and brighten the lip skin.

Lactic acid peel: Lactic acid peels are gentler and can help hydrate and lighten the lip skin.

Period of Results

Temporary results: Chemical peel results for lip darkness are temporary and may last for a few weeks to a few months.

Maintenance treatments: To maintain the results, you may need to undergo regular maintenance treatments.

Precautions and Alternatives

Consult a dermatologist: Before undergoing a chemical peel, consult a dermatologist to discuss the best course of treatment for your lip darkness.

Other treatment options: Other treatment options, such as laser therapy or lip scrubs, may also be effective in reducing lip darkness.
