I'm noticing these white spots or bumps at the corners of my lips, and I'm not sure why they're there or how to get rid of them. Also, my lips have become quite dark, and I don't even smoke. What could be causing this, and what steps can I take to improve it? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm currently undergoing treatment for acanthosis nigricans, and my doctor recommended using a radiofrequency technique to get rid of some small black spots under my arm. I recently moved to a new city, and I'm wondering if I can continue this treatment here. Is this something I should be concerned about when changing locations, or can I just find a local specialist to continue with the radiofrequency treatment?

I've put Dettol on my face with a cotton swab earlier today around noon, and it started burning. It first turned black and then went red. I tried cold water, ice, and later put some Lacto Calamine lotion on it at around 3pm. There's still a blackish mark that's worrying me. What should I do now?

Applying Dettol to the skin can cause chemical burns, especially if left on for an extended period. Treatment and Care 1. Continue applying cold compresses: Cold water and ice can help reduce the burning sensation and inflammation. 2. Lacto Calamine lotion: You're on the right track with Lacto Calamine lotion, which can help soothe and calm the skin. 3. Topical antibiotic cream: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, to prevent infection. 4. Hydrocortisone cream: A mild steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone, can help reduce inflammation and itching. 5. Avoid further irritation: Refrain from applying any harsh products, exfoliating, or using hot water on the affected area.

I've been having this issue with my hair turning grey for a couple of months now. I'm noticing that some of my hairs are completely grey, while others are black at the root, then brown, and eventually grey at the top. It's happening pretty quickly, and I'm worried. Is there any way to reverse the greying? I'd really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.

grey hair is due to lack of biotin protien in your diet,consume balanced diet with extra protien for healthy hair,if it is bothering you visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
