I'm noticing that I have about 20 white hairs, and I'm really worried about it. Can you give me some advice on how to prevent more from appearing and what I should do to take care of my hair? What should I avoid doing to keep my hair healthy?

To address premature greying of hair, consider a holistic approach: maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins B12, E, and minerals like copper, zinc, and iron; reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises; use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos; massage your scalp regularly; and consider Ayurvedic or natural remedies like amla, coconut oil, or henna, while avoiding excessive heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and frequent dyeing.

I've been having a lot of itching around my penis and testes lately. Scratching gives me temporary relief, but then it starts itching again. I've tried using Candid lotion, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm really consistent about bathing every day and even use cooling powders, yet the itchiness persists. It's pretty embarrassing because I can't stop myself from scratching in public sometimes. Also, there are visible red scratch marks between my penis and upper thighs. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do?

You may be experiencing a fungal infection in the groin area, also known as jock itch. In addition to maintaining good hygiene practices, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (brand name Lotrimin) twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting cotton underwear to help reduce moisture and friction. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with whiteheads on my nose, and I've made a habit of picking at them. Recently, though, the skin on my nose started peeling, and now it's looking darker compared to the surrounding areas, plus there's this horizontal dark line running across it. I'm worried and wondering: will my skin eventually recover from this on its own? Should I be doing something different to help it heal?
