I'm noticing that my beard is getting white, but my hair isn't. It used to be just 56 follicles, but now it feels like about 30% of my beard has turned white in just six months. Is there something specific that causes this kind of change in beard color compared to hair? Should I be worried, and are there any ways to slow down or reverse this process?

I've been struggling with acne and oily skin for years now, and it's gotten to the point where I just really want to have acne-free, glowing skin. I've noticed small holes on my face too. Do you have any advice or treatments that could help with these concerns? I'm feeling pretty frustrated with my skin situation and would love to know if there's something I could try.

For acne and oily skin, you can try using a combination of topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid-based products. You can also consider using a retinoid cream to help with acne and improve skin texture. Additionally, oral medications like oral antibiotics or isotretinoin may be prescribed by a doctor for severe cases. To improve the appearance of small holes on your face (which may be due to acne scars or enlarged pores), treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can be beneficial.

I'm dealing with acne and dark spots, and I started using melalite cream. Is it actually safe for me to use this cream? Are there any risks or side effects I should know about? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure I'm not doing more harm than good.

Melalite cream contains hydroquinone which is commonly used to lighten dark patches of skin. However, it is important to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional as prolonged use of hydroquinone can have side effects such as skin irritation, redness, or a bluish-black darkening of the skin. It is recommended to use melalite cream in a thin layer on the affected areas once daily at night.
