I'm 34 and I've just noticed two grey hairs in my eyebrows. Could you help me figure out what's causing this? Should I be seeing a general physician or a dermatologist for advice? I'm currently living in Bangalore.

Grey hairs in eyebrows can be caused by:

  1. Genetics
  2. Vitamin deficiencies (B12, D, copper)
  3. Hormonal changes
  4. Oxidative stress
  5. Autoimmune disorders

For isolated grey hairs in eyebrows, you can start by consulting a:

  1. General Physician: Rule out underlying medical conditions.
  2. Dermatologist: If the GP suspects a skin-related issue.

So, I've been dealing with melanin depigmentation and tried out this Pigmanorm cream that's got hydroquinone 4, hydrocortisone 1, and tretinoin 0.1. I applied it for three days, and now my face is all red in those spots. I stopped using the cream, but I'm kind of freaking out about whether this redness will go away on its own. Right now, I'm using Bioderma Sensibio Forte cream because I heard it's good for flushed skin. Do you think the redness will just fade away, or is it something that's going to stick around for a while? Also, I'm putting on Eveline sunscreen SPF 50 three times a day. Could you check out the pics and tell me what you think?

I'm really curious about how safe biotin capsules are. Do they actually help with reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth? If they do, could you also guide me on how much I should be taking?

Biotin capsules are generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, and can help reduce hair fall and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and increasing elasticity; recommended dosage varies from 2,500-10,000 mcg per day, but typical dosages for hair growth are 5,000-7,500 mcg per day, taken orally with food, and it's essential to consult a Dermatologist
