I've been noticing these pimples popping up on my lower back, especially on both sides around the waist, and they're turning into black spots. It's also happening on my upper arms. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and what can I do to make them go away?

That looks like keratosis pilaris? if it is so take bath twice daily and use good moisturizer two times a day that will work , if it still persists visit dermatologist topical lotions.

I've noticed these white patches in the corners of my lips for about a year now. They don't hurt, but it seems like the whiteness is spreading. I'm really starting to wonder what's causing this. Any ideas?

May be due to a condition called oral thrush, which is a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as clotrimazole. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent the infection from worsening.

I'm dealing with really bad dandruff and I've heard that lemon juice might help. Can I just apply lemon juice directly onto my scalp for this? Also, I'm worried if using lemon juice might cause my hair to turn white. What should I do?

I've been using Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer at night for my face, but after just two days, I had to stop because I'm experiencing itching and a burning sensation, and I'm even noticing new wrinkles in areas that used to be smooth, and it's been three days since I stopped. I picked this up thinking it was mild, since it's a store-bought product with "moisturizer" in the name, and I assumed it had minimal retinol. What should I do about this?
