I'm 31 and my beard, which has been nice and dark for 25 years, started turning grey about 6-7 months ago, and now it's just getting worse. Is there anything I can do about this? Do you think I should see a doctor about it? I'm really curious if there's a medical reason or a treatment that can help.

Premature greying of hair, including beard hair, can be due to various factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. One possible solution to slow down the greying process is to use a medication called Minoxidil 5% solution. You can apply it directly to the affected areas of your beard twice daily. Additionally, taking a Biotin supplement can also help improve hair health and potentially slow down the greying process. However, it is important to note that these treatments may not work for everyone and results can vary. If you are concerned about your condition and its progression, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm 27 and from Tamilnadu. A while back, I accidentally had kerosene poured on me, and since then, my face has been getting darker day by day. I'm really worried about how to get back to my previous skin tone. What can I do to improve my skin?
Accidentally spilling kerosene on your face can cause skin damage and discoloration. To help restore your skin tone, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF daily can help prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
