Question

I've recently noticed these small black spots on my lower back, kind of the size of an inch coin. They're not itchy, but they do hurt a little when I press on them. Should I be worried about this?

Could be due to a condition called Tinea Versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.

I'm really worried because I used apple cider vinegar on my face, and it burned my skin and turned it dark brown. After about 45 days, the burned scab came off, but now there's a whitish-pink mark left on my face. I'm scared it might scar permanently. I'm a 31-year-old female, and I really need help to figure out how to deal with this. Do you think this mark will go away, or should I be doing something specific to help it heal?

I'm curious about Follivita522does it really work for hair regrowth? Also, I'm a bit concerned about any possible side effects, especially when it comes to sexual health for men. Can you share what the consequences might be?

Question

I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!
