View allI'm a bit worried about my dad; he started using scabidol ointment for some antibacterial infections, but after about a week, he noticed white patches on the skin where he applied it. Is this something normal, or should we be concerned? What should we do next?

I'm 24 and pretty lean at just 46 kg, but I've got multiple lipomas. I'm thinking about taking a protein supplement to help gain some weight, but I'm worried about how it might affect the lipomas. Could it cause more of them to develop or make the existing ones worse? Anything I should be aware of before starting on a protein supplement?

I've noticed that the hairs on my eyebrows and upper lip are starting to turn white. I've been dealing with grey hair for the past 34 years, and it just seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Is there any way to stop my eyebrow hairs from going white too?
Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. You can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.
