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'm noticing something that looks like perioral dermatitis around my mouth and chin. The only change in my life recently is that I moved to a new place with really hard water. Could the water be causing this? Also, I tried using lotion but it just made things flakier and scalier. I even used a prescription steroid cream and that didnt seem to work either. What do you think might be happening?
yes

Why my hair is oily even after washed?
Shampooing too little or too often contributes to greasy hair , washing more than once a day can produce more oil to make up for extra shampooing

I'm really worried about my ongoing urticaria after being diagnosed with dengue last year. I'm currently seeing a dermatologist and taking Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin, but it's impacting me mentally too. I'm planning on starting IVF soon, and I'm concerned if this condition might interfere with fertility treatments. Could you help me understand if urticaria could be a problem for IVF?
Your urticaria should not hinder your IVF treatments directly, and your current medications (Allegra, Famocid, and Doxepin) are not typically known to interfere with fertility. However, its always best to consult your fertility specialist about your full medication list. The psychological aspect of dealing with chronic urticaria is valid, and managing stress will be important for both your overall well-being and fertility treatment success.
