My mom tried doing a chemical peel at home because her friends recommended it, and now she's ended up with some serious burns on her skin, leaving dark patches. We're really worried about how to fix this, especially since we can't find any doctors nearby due to the lockdown. Can you tell us what we should do?

Im a 29-year-old and have started noticing that over the past couple of years, my beard hair is turning white. Its gotten to the point where now I have about 10 white hairs in my beard. Is there any way to stop my beard hair from turning white at such a young age? Also, is there a way to turn the white hairs back to black? I'm genuinely worried because I dont have any habits that usually lead to this, and it doesnt seem to be genetic either. Im feeling pretty down about this situation. Can you help?

There are several factors that can contribute to premature graying of hair, including genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions. While it may not be possible to completely stop the graying process, you can try taking supplements containing B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants to support hair health. Additionally, using hair products containing catalase or keratin may help slow down the graying process. To turn white hair back to black, you can try using hair dyes specifically designed for facial hair. Look for products containing ingredients like ammonia-free dye, keratin, and argan oil for best results. Remember to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any skin irritation.

I've had these two small pimple-like bumps on the side of my cheek for a few months now. At first, I thought it was just acne, but theyre not going away. Do you think it could be a cyst or something else?
