I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Minoxidil generally does not cause discoloration of hair strands which it comes in contact with. Your grey hairs may be caused due to lack of pigmenting compounds. There are various treatments available online.
