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?

View allI've got this black spot on my shoulder and back that we call Bhabuti in my local language. I'm really not sure how it started, but it definitely spreads more when the summer months come around. Can you provide any advice or solutions on how to deal with it?
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm struggling with my curly and dry hair, and I'm on the lookout for a good shampoo and conditioner. I've heard that it's important for these products to be paraben and SLS free, and Im wondering if that's really necessary or if sticking to a reputable brand would be just as effective. What do dermatologists generally think about using paraben and SLS-free products?
Sebamed shampoo is advised to the patient.

I've had this brown vertical line on the nail of my middle finger for about a year now, and there's been no pain or growth. I stumbled upon something saying these lines could be linked to melanoma skin cancer, which freaked me out a bit. No one in my family has ever had cancer, but should I be worried about this line on my nail?
The brown vertical line in your nail plate may be due to a condition called longitudinal melanonychia. While it can sometimes be a sign of melanoma, it is important to consider other causes first. In your case, since there is no associated growth or pain, it may not be a cause for concern. However, it is still recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
