Hey, I'm 25 and I've noticed some white hairs popping up in my beard. Is there any way to stop this from happening, or maybe a treatment to make them turn black again?

Premature graying of the beard can be concerning.
Causes of Premature Graying
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role.
- Vitamin deficiencies: Lack of vitamins like B12, vitamin D, or copper.
- Hormonal imbalances: Thyroid disorders or hormonal changes.
- Stress: Prolonged stress can contribute to graying.
- Lifestyle factors: Smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
Controlling Premature Graying
- Vitamin supplements: Ensure adequate vitamin B12, vitamin D, and copper intake.
- Dietary changes: Eat foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins.
- Reduce stress: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga.
- Quit smoking: Smoking accelerates graying.
- Exercise regularly: Regular physical activity promotes overall health.
Treatment for Reversing Graying
- Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) therapy: Stimulates melanin production.
- Low-level laser therapy (LLLT): Increases hair growth and melanin production.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: Stimulates hair growth and melanin productions

I've been getting these reddish spots on the head of my penis and under the foreskin for the last couple of months. They're not really itchy, but they do feel uncomfortable. I've tried cleaning with lukewarm water and Savlon, and even used Quadriderm RF cream, but nothing seems to help. What could this be, and can you suggest some medication or treatment that might work better?
use azithromycin
