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.

I'm struggling with really bad foot odor whenever I wear shoes for just a few hours. At first, I thought it was athlete's foot, so I tried using Lotrimin, but then I found out it's actually pitted keratolysis. I switched to using 10% benzoyl peroxide ointments, and they seemed to help while I was using them. But as soon as I stop, the odor returns, and my feet start getting rough again. What should I do to tackle this for good? Any tips would be really helpful.

Yes you can have it no problem
