I'm 26 years old and I've noticed that about 20 of my hairs have turned white. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Can you help me with some solutions or advice on why this might be happening?

I've been using Minoxidil for four months now, following my dermatologist's advice, but I'm thinking about stopping it. I'm 21 years old and a bit concerned about what might happen if I do. What should I expect? Will there be any side effects or hair loss? Is it safe to just quit Minoxidil after this period?

Ask dermatologist for wheaning off ,do not stop it abruptly

I've been using Myfair cream on my face for the past two weeks, and it seems to be making my skin glow. I havent noticed any side effects so far. Should I keep using it, or would you advise otherwise?

It is not recommended to use Myfair cream for face glowing as it contains hydroquinone which can have potential side effects in the long term such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin. Instead, you can switch to a safer alternative like Kojic acid cream or Vitamin C serum for a more natural and gentle approach to achieve glowing skin. Apply a pea-sized amount of Kojic acid cream or Vitamin C serum on your face once daily in the evening for best results.
