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.

View allI've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.

I'm struggling with hair loss and was prescribed TricoMax to take one tablet daily. The thing is, the dermatologist didn't tell me for how long I should continue this treatment. Ive moved quite far from Hindu Rao hospital, where I got this prescription, so a follow-up isnt really possible. Could you advise me on how long I should keep taking TricoMax? Any guidance would be really helpful.
TricoMax, a supplement containing biotin, vitamin B, and keratin, is recommended for a minimum of 3-6 months to assess its effectiveness for hair loss, and it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance; consider consulting a new dermatologist in your current location for a follow-up and guidance on continuing or modifying the treatment.
