I'm using Mintop and noticed sometimes it gets on my other hairs, and I'm worried it might turn them grey. Is that possible? Also, I've started getting grey hairs at just 16. Is there a way to treat them so they can turn black again?

Minoxidil generally does not cause discoloration of hair strands which it comes in contact with. Your grey hairs may be caused due to lack of pigmenting compounds. There are various treatments available online.

I'm dealing with a reddish rash on my cleavage and under my breast. It tends to get worse when I sweat and then becomes really dry and sometimes itchy after a shower. I noticed last time that a zinc-based medicine from my dermatologist helped a bit. It's not really bothering me otherwise, but I'm just not sure what else to do. What do you think it might be, and is there something more I should try?

That could be fungal infection ,maintain personal hygiene and you continue that ointment,if it is recurring have to take oral antifungal medicines ,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
