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

View allI've been using Tretinoin cream for about a month now to tackle my hyperpigmentation, but instead of seeing improvements, my face and neck are getting darker. I'm really concerned and wondering if this increased darkness is normal and will eventually go away on its own. Could you share some insights on what might be happening?

I'm experiencing some dryness at the tip of my penis and I heard Candid lotion might help. Do you think this is a good solution, or is there a better medicine you would recommend?
Candid lotion is an antifungal medication, but it may not be the best choice for dryness on the penis tip. Better Alternatives for Dryness on the Penis Tip 1. Hydrocortisone cream or ointment: Over-the-counter (OTC) hydrocortisone creams or ointments can help soothe and moisturize dry skin on the penis tip. 2. Vaseline or petroleum jelly: Applying a thin layer of Vaseline or petroleum jelly can help lock in moisture and protect the skin from further dryness. 3. Cetaphil cream or moisturizer: Fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers like Cetaphil can help hydrate and soothe dry skin on the penis tip. 4. Urea-based creams: Urea-based creams, such as Urea cream or Carmol 40, can help moisturize and soften dry skin.

I'm 19 and starting to notice a lot of white hairs already, which is kind of worrying. Someone suggested I try dex orange syrup to help with it. I'm really curious if that's effective or if there's something else I should consider. What do you think?
Dex Orange syrup is a multivitamin supplement that contains essential vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Zinc. While it can help improve overall hair health and prevent premature graying to some extent, it may not specifically target or reduce white hair. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall hair health. The recommended dosage of Dex Orange syrup is usually 10ml once a day.
