I've noticed recently that some of my hand and chest hair are turning grey or white all of a sudden, and I'm really confused about why this is happening. I'm wondering if there's any way to stop or reverse it. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about any underlying health issues?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
