Greying of hair is a normal aging process which starts around 30 as the melanocytes activity of the body slows down and gradually the melanin production in hair stops. If it is happening before this age, it is called premature greying. This can be genetic and also due to deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals. The hairs which have already turned white cannot be turned back to black. But you can delay the process of greying of hair by some lifestyle modifications. Take adequate sleep and drink lots of water, eat lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables. Few tablets can also be prescribed for the same. there is also one lotion which is supposed to work.

I'm having this weird issue where every night my knees and elbows start itching, and I get these small rashes. I've been using Tetmosol soap and Dettol liquid when I bathe, but I'm not sure if that's helping. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any suggestions on what I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
