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.

How do you treat body rash?

We need to determine the cause of rash and then treat accordingly. If you get a red rash with itching , it may be mostly due to an allergy which can be relieved by applying Moisturiser, wet cloth or ice pack to the affected area. You may need to take some antihistamine medications too under doctor's supervision.

My dad has a nail infection, and we were told to use Loceryl nail lacquer for it. But it seems like none of the pharmacies have it in stock right now. Could you suggest another nail lacquer that might work similarly? I'm a bit concerned about finding the right alternative for him.

I'm really worried about my skin after using No Scar cream. I'm experiencing some side effects, and it's making me anxious. How long does it usually take for the skin to get back to normal and regain its usual appearance after such issues?

It is difficult to predict exactly how long it will take for the skin to return to its previous appearance after experiencing side effects from a no scar cream. The time frame can vary depending on the individual's skin type, the severity of the side effects, and how the skin responds to treatment. However, you can consider using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to help soothe the skin and promote healing.
