I accidentally brushed my leg against my bike's engine and the skin has turned white. It's not too painful, but I'm a little worried since it's a bit unusual. Is this something I should be concerned about, or will it heal on its own?

Minor burns from touching a bike engine can cause white discoloration. Follow these steps:
Immediate Care
- Run cool tap water over the affected area for 10-15 minutes to reduce temperature.
- Apply a topical antibiotic ointment (e.g., Neosporin or Bacitracin).
- Cover with a non-stick, sterile bandage.
Aftercare
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Apply ointment 2-3 times a day.
- Monitor for signs of infection (redness, swelling, increased pain).
- Avoid breaking blisters or scratchin

I'm starting to notice a lot of grey hairs popping up on my head and I'm a bit worried. I saw a dermatologist who gave me some scalp lotions and oral medicine, and also suggested I eat more dates. I'm curious, what's causing this sudden change? Is there a way to get my hair back to normal? Would love some advice on what to do next.

I'm really curious about this Reffollium product. I've been struggling with bald spots and am wondering if it actually helps with hair growth. Is it effective for regrowing hair in areas where I'm thinning? I was thinking about ordering it and would love to get some advice before I do. Can you shed some light on whether it's worth trying?
Don't worry, drinking lemon juice after the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine is unlikely to cause any problems. The vaccine's efficacy won't be affected by the lemon juice. However, it's essential to complete the full course of the anti-rabies vaccine as prescribed by your doctor. Monitor the bite wound for signs of infection and report any concerns to your doctor.
