I'm 20 and I've started noticing something odd with my beard it's usually full dark, but now I've got about 15 hairs turning brown. I'm a bit puzzled since no one in my family, including my brother, has a brown beard. I'm trying to figure out if this is just normal or if it's a sign it might go grey soon. Could it be due to poor nutrients, or maybe too much sun exposure? What's really causing this?

Don't worry, 15 brown hairs in a full dark beard is a minor change.
Normal Variation: It's common for beards to have a few stray hairs of different colors.
Possible Causes:
- Sun exposure: Sunlight can lighten or change hair color.
- Nutritional variations: Minor fluctuations in vitamin or mineral intake might affect hair color.
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations can influence hair growth and color.
Unlikely to Turn Gray Soon: 15 brown hairs don't indicate imminent graying.
Monitor and Maintain:
- Keep an eye on changes: If the brown hairs increase or spread, consult a doctor.
- Maintain a balanced diet: Ensure adequate vitamins and minerals.
- Protect your beard from sun damage: Use a hat or hair products with SPF.
Consult a doctor if you're concerned or notice significant changes.

View allI've had white patches on my skin for about 10 years now and they're stable, not spreading. Thinking about getting surgery to treat them but worried if it'll leave scars on my face or the treated areas. Should I go for surgery or stick with medicines for better results?

I'm 28 and have struggled with severe nodular acne, and unfortunately, my skin is still really sensitive. I occasionally get acne breakouts too. I've been using Epitheliale AH skin repair cream and a herbal acne cream as part of my skincare routine. Now, I'm starting to notice signs of aging like dry patches, fine lines, dullness, and some spots. I'm nervous about visiting salons for facials or cleanups due to hygiene concerns. I'm trying to figure out how to start an anti-aging regimen at home that won't trigger breakouts. Ive heard that a lot of anti-aging products have heavy moisturizers that might clog pores. Can you suggest any products that are safe for acne-prone skin but also keep it moisturized enough? Also, Im hoping for something cost-effective because I'm not looking to spend too much. What would you recommend?
Dermatologist opinion is advised.

I've noticed I've developed a bunch of new tiny moles, each about 1mm or smaller, on my hands and legs. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing these new moles to appear. Any ideas on what this could mean?
The development of new moles, especially in areas like hands and legs, can be due to various factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. It is important to monitor these moles for any changes in size, shape, or color. To help prevent further development of new moles, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.
