I've noticed this yellow patch on my right breast really close to my nipple. It's not causing any pain, and there aren't any lumps or discharge, just this yellow spot. It's been two days, and it's still there, which has me feeling anxious. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious like cancer or maybe just a bruise?
That could be normal bruise, no need to worry,to be on safeside, visit surgeon for evaluation.

I'm 20 and I've started noticing something odd with my beard it's usually full dark, but now I've got about 15 hairs turning brown. I'm a bit puzzled since no one in my family, including my brother, has a brown beard. I'm trying to figure out if this is just normal or if it's a sign it might go grey soon. Could it be due to poor nutrients, or maybe too much sun exposure? What's really causing this?
Don't worry, 15 brown hairs in a full dark beard is a minor change. _Normal Variation_: It's common for beards to have a few stray hairs of different colors. _Possible Causes_: 1. _Sun exposure_: Sunlight can lighten or change hair color. 2. _Nutritional variations_: Minor fluctuations in vitamin or mineral intake might affect hair color. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations can influence hair growth and color. _Unlikely to Turn Gray Soon_: 15 brown hairs don't indicate imminent graying. _Monitor and Maintain_: 1. _Keep an eye on changes_: If the brown hairs increase or spread, consult a doctor. 2. _Maintain a balanced diet_: Ensure adequate vitamins and minerals. 3. _Protect your beard from sun damage_: Use a hat or hair products with SPF. Consult a doctor if you're concerned or notice significant changes.
