I'm dealing with some hair issues like hair fall, split ends, and slow hair growth. I'm thinking about trying biotin supplements, but I'm worried about whether they might have any side effects. Also, if it's okay to start taking them, could you suggest any specific brand that's good? I really want my hair to grow longer and healthier.

I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Minoxidil generally does not cause discoloration of hair strands which it comes in contact with. Your grey hairs may be caused due to lack of pigmenting compounds. There are various treatments available online.

I've been dealing with skin acne all over my back and hands, and it's been really frustrating. I went for a checkup and was given Kevon stay-on lotion to try, but I haven't seen any improvement. Any idea why it's not working, or is there something else I should do?

You are suffering from what Dermatologist call tropical acne. In this condition, pimples erupt on the back and shoulder area which then subside after few days with pigmentation. The treatment is not very complicated. It can be treated with tablets, creams, and soap. Maintenance treatment may be required to cover for recurrence. Please don't apply oil on your head.
