I'm really worried about my 12-year-old daughter's hair turning white. She's got about 50 white hairs already. I'm not sure what to do or which treatment would be best. Can you tell me what type of doctor we should see for this issue?

Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, or stress. To address this issue, you can consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. In this case, the doctor may prescribe a medication like Minoxidil solution to help with hair regrowth and prevent further graying. The dosage and application instructions will be provided by the dermatologist after evaluation.

But it seems like it's not available anymore. Could you suggest a similar alternative that just includes these two ingredients? I'm really looking for something as effective.

I'm a 25-year-old guy and I've been dealing with some intense itching around my private area for the past few months. It's gotten so bad that the skin has turned black. I've tried using things like Nicil powder, but nothing seems to help stop the itch. What could be going on, and how can I get some relief?
