Im a 29-year-old and have started noticing that over the past couple of years, my beard hair is turning white. Its gotten to the point where now I have about 10 white hairs in my beard. Is there any way to stop my beard hair from turning white at such a young age? Also, is there a way to turn the white hairs back to black? I'm genuinely worried because I dont have any habits that usually lead to this, and it doesnt seem to be genetic either. Im feeling pretty down about this situation. Can you help?

There are several factors that can contribute to premature graying of hair, including genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions. While it may not be possible to completely stop the graying process, you can try taking supplements containing B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants to support hair health. Additionally, using hair products containing catalase or keratin may help slow down the graying process. To turn white hair back to black, you can try using hair dyes specifically designed for facial hair. Look for products containing ingredients like ammonia-free dye, keratin, and argan oil for best results. Remember to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any skin irritation.

I'm a 26-year-old guy and I've been taking Tretiva 10 mg for my scalp infection. The dermatologist suggested I use it for 30 days to help with the small pimples filled with white pus on my scalp. But I read about some possible side effects in the patient information leaflet, like psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, and pseudotumor cerebri, and I'm starting to worry a bit. Do you think it's a good idea to stop taking it? I'm concerned about any possible effects on my brain or thinking since I'm a student. Also, I didn't have any blood tests before starting this medication. What should I do?
Tretiva 10 mg is a brand name for isotretinoin, which is commonly used to treat severe acne and some cases of scalp infection. While it is important to be aware of the potential side effects listed in the patient information leaflet, it is also important to consider the benefits of the medication in treating your scalp infection. In your case, since the dermatologist has prescribed a low dose of 1 tretiva 10 mgday for 30 days, the risk of experiencing severe side effects such as psychiatric disorders, pancreatitis, or pseudotumor cerebri is relatively low. These side effects are more commonly associated with higher doses and long-term use of isotretinoin. As a student, it is crucial to prioritize your health and well-being.

I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?
Physician opinion is advised to the patient.
