I'm noticing a lot of premature grey hairs and it seems like they're increasing every day. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

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've got a question about Perlice Lotion. Dr. Aamir Siddiqui suggested it for my mom when she had dandruff and lice a few months ago. I'm wondering if it's okay to use it again or if there's a better option now. What do you think?

I'm a bit worried because I used antibiotic cream on a fungal infection rash, and it seems like the rash only got worse. So now I'm wondering, if I use antifungal cream on a rash that's not painful, and it ends up getting worse, could it mean it's another type of infection? Or can antifungal cream make any type of infection worse, kind of like how the antibiotic cream did?
