I've just turned 27 and I've noticed more and more white hair showing up in my beard. It's happening regularly and it's really starting to worry me. I'm not sure what's causing this or what I can do about it. Any ideas on what might be going on or any good solutions? I've even attached a couple of images for more context.

Premature graying of hair can be due to various factors such as genetics, stress, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. Make sure to eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, manage stress levels, and consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm just wondering how accurate the herpes HSV IgG test is after three months since I was exposed. I got a negative result, but I've noticed a blister under the foreskin. Should I consider getting retested in a few months?

my mom had hip surgery recently and now she's developed a fungal infection there for the past two days - she also had head surgery before this, could that be related or making things worse? what should we do about the infection?

Fungal infection post-surgery needs antifungal treatment.Local care and hygiene are key.Head surgery may lower immunity.

I'm using Melanocyl ointment for my vitiligo as prescribed by my doctor, but I've developed a sore and a reddish patch on the area I'm treating. My doctor is currently on leave. What should I do about the sore?

Seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the Melanocyl ointment. You can try using a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the sore area to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with another healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
