Natural Reversal:
- Grey hair turning back to black naturally is rare, especially at 40.
- Hair greying is due to reduced melanin production.
-
Factors to Consider:
a. Health and Nutrition:- Deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin B12) or thyroid issues can cause premature greying.
- Addressing these may improve hair pigmentation.
b. Stress Levels: - High stress can impact hair color.
-
Restoration Options:
- Hair Dyes: Safest and most effective method for restoring black color.
- Consultation: Seek advice from a dermatologist if greying is sudden or patchy.
Summary:
Natural reversal is uncommon; focus on nutrition and health for hair support. Use hair dye for cosmetic restoration.

View allI have these black spots on the left side of my chest that have been there since I was 12. Theyre flat, irregular in shape, and blend in with my skin, but theyve started spreading over the years. Even though they dont itch or hurt, the change in their color is worrying me. A homeopathy doctor once mentioned its a melanin issue, but Im feeling anxious about it now. What do you think could be causing this, and should I be concerned about them spreading further?
No need to worry, That could be melanosis or keratosis Which comes with no complications, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm feeling pretty concerned about hair loss and the amount of eggs I'm eating since I joined the gym. I've been consuming around 6 to 8 eggs every day. Could this be causing my hair to fall out? Should I stop eating so many eggs, or is there something else I should consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I've been struggling with these rashes that keep coming back even though I'm following my dermatologist's treatment. The meds worked at first but now I'm still getting rashes during the course and once it's done, it's back again. I've taken so many medicines over the last few months, and I'm worried if I'm missing something. How can I clear these allergies completely from my body?
