I've recently noticed some grey hair popping up in one specific area on my scalp, and one of them is even half black and half white. I'm kind of worried and was wondering if you could shed some light on why this is happening?

The sudden appearance of grey hair in a specific spot could be due to various reasons such as genetics, stress, or a deficiency in certain nutrients. However, if you are concerned about this sudden change, you can try using a hair growth supplement like Nutrafol to promote healthy hair growth. Additionally, you can consider using a hair color product like Just For Men to cover the grey hair if desired.

I'm worried about my son's new wife because her dad has vitiligo, and I didn't think much of it before. The girl, my daughter-in-law now, doesn't show any signs of it so far. I've just learned that vitiligo can be hereditary. What are the chances she might develop it? And what precautions or treatments can we consider to prevent her or future children from getting vitiligo?
Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm worried because my inner thighs are a lot darker than the rest of my skin. I've heard about kojitin cream and I'm wondering if it could help lighten the area. If it works, how long would it take to see results? And if it doesn't work, is there something else I can try to even out my skin tone there?
usually it's darker than rest of the skin for almost everyone no need to worry maintain personal hygiene,if you are conscious visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.
