Natural Graying Process:
- Hair turns gray due to decreased melanin production, influenced by genetics and aging.
-
Reversibility:
- Once hair turns gray, it rarely reverts to its original color naturally.
- Temporary changes might occur due to stress or certain medical conditions.
-
Medical Factors:
- Vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B12) or thyroid issues can contribute to premature graying.
- Addressing these may improve hair health but usually won't restore original color.
-
Cosmetic Options:
- Hair dyes and natural remedies can help restore the appearance of black hair safely.
Recommendation:
Consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to explore underlying causes and appropriate treatments if concerned about premature graying.

View allI recently got bitten by something called a Nairobi fly, and now I've got these awful blisters that hurt a lot. I've been taking cetrazin antihistamines for the past three days, but they haven't helped at all. The blisters seem to be spreading, and I'm really worried because I don't know how to treat this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

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
