Question

I applied a honey mask to my face, and after 15 minutes, I washed it off. Then, about two hours later, I went to a parlor for eyebrow plucking and noticed I had a white hair in my eyebrows. I'm worried now. The lady at the parlor said the honey might have caused the hair to turn white. Is there any truth to that?

No, honey does not make hair turn white. Honey is often used in hair masks and treatments to moisturize and nourish the hair. If you are experiencing premature graying of hair, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question

Ive been dealing with this really annoying itching on my wrist. Then, after a day, it swelled up a bit. I tried using some turmeric powder and it seemed to help, but the next day the itchiness and the swelling came back, this time on the back of my hand, and the swelling was way worse. It kept getting bigger for about three days. I put some more turmeric paste on it, and now the swellings gone down on my hand but has moved to my fingers. The itchiness is still there, and the swelling is bad and hurts a bit. Could this be from an insect bite? What do you think I should do?
