I accidentally got some dettol on my forehead today, and now I've got this dark mark. It doesnt hurt or anything, but it just looks terrible. I'm already getting treatment for pimples, but my doctor is out of town. Can you tell me how long it might take for this mark to heal?

You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Silverex cream twice a day to prevent infection. Additionally, you can use a scar removal gel like Contractubex to help reduce the appearance of the dark mark. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for minor burns to heal, but the dark mark may take longer to fade. Make sure to protect the area from sun exposure to prevent further darkening of the mark.

I'm 19 and starting to notice a lot of white hairs already, which is kind of worrying. Someone suggested I try dex orange syrup to help with it. I'm really curious if that's effective or if there's something else I should consider. What do you think?
Dex Orange syrup is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Zinc. While it can help improve overall hair health and prevent premature graying to some extent, it may not specifically target or reduce white hair. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall hair health. The recommended dosage of Dex Orange syrup is usually 10ml once a day.
