berrygood1605Apr 27, 2016
I wear lipstick for 8 hours or more every day and I did it for almost 9 years. And now I've noticed that there is a varicose veins in my upper lip. Sometimes it's aching and when I touch it I feel like the vein is beating and pumping. I am very depressed for this. I am not sure what it is. Is it cancerous? What trestments should I undergo to remove this? Please I need your help. Thank you
