I'm really worried because I applied honey to my scalp and hair recently, and now my mom is saying that it could be the reason my hair is turning white. I'm wondering if it's true that honey can actually cause black hair to turn white?

I've noticed these tiny white spots on the inner part of my upper lip since April. They're not itchy or painful, but they're definitely there, and I don't exactly like how they look. I'm wondering if these could be Fordyce spots? If so, can you recommend any medicine or treatment for them?

The tiny white spots on your upper lip are likely Fordyce spots, benign ectopic sebaceous glands; while they are harmless and don't require treatment

Greasy hair and/or scalp can clog the hair follicles, cause dandruff with itching, dampen the hair growth and may also induce excessive hair loss

I had an accident about 15 days ago and got hit near my eye. Now that the wound has healed, I've noticed dark marks forming there, and they seem to be getting even darker. I'm really worried about it. I'm currently using MemopiHC cream, and I'm wondering if I should continue with it or if there's a better option out there. If you think this is something serious, should I see a doctor right away?

no need to worry,such scars would take time to heal ,you can continue the cream that your using now and donot scratch the affected area.
