I accidentally spilled some hot oil on my fingers yesterday while cooking, and it's on my left hand. What would be a good way to treat it? I'm a bit worried about how to properly take care of it.

Now, it's not only thinning but also turned from black to brown. Plus, there are these red bumps and a lot of dandruff on my scalp. I'm not sure what could be causing all this. Could you help me understand what's happening and what I can do about it?

does milk cause acne
Cow's milk may increase the risk of developing acne. There are no studies that have found that products made from milk, i.e., cheese or yogurt, lead to an increase in breakouts.

I've noticed some small white spots on my penis foreskin, and I'm a bit worried about what they might be. I went to see a urologist, and he mentioned that it's not serious but might be related to dermatology. The thing is, it's hard to find a private dermatologist consultation around here. What could these spots be, and how should I go about getting them treated?
The small white spots on your penis foreskin could be a condition called Fordyce spots, which are harmless and do not require treatment. However, if you are concerned or if they are causing discomfort, you can visit a dermatologist for further evaluation. The dermatologist may prescribe a topical treatment such as Retin-A (tretinoin) cream to help reduce the appearance of the spots. It is important to follow the dermatologist's advice for proper management of the condition.
