I'm 14 and I've noticed I have a lot of white hair. I've tried so many things, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest something that might help?

Plastic surgery is an option for deep or wide scars. Costs vary but can range from ₹5,000–₹50,000 or more per session, depending on the treatment and clinic.

I'm currently being treated for tuberculosis and have been on medication for about two months. Initially, I was on Akurit 4 for around 1.5 months, but it gave me really bad joint pain, so my doctor switched me to AKT 3. Lately, I've been facing significant hair fall, and I'm worried I might lose all my hair soon. I've also noticed some white strands popping up. Could you please advise on what I can do about this situation?
