I'm 26 and already dealing with 35 white hairs. I'm also starting to lose some hair. Is there any solution for this?

Premature graying of hair and hair fall can be concerning issues. To address the premature graying, you can try using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Additionally, taking Biotin supplements can also help in improving hair health. For the hair fall, you can use Finasteride 1mg daily to help reduce hair fall and promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to manage stress levels as these can also impact hair health.

I'm really worried about my skin. I've been using this fair cream from Zee Drugs for about a year now, and I'm noticing some issues. If I skip using it for just a day, I get these small pimple-like things near my nose and all over my forehead. The longer I don't use it, the redder and itchier they become. And when I do use the cream again, my nose becomes covered with pimples that won't go away. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on and what I should do about it?

That could be Acne Vulagaris which is because your skin might have become sensitive,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management and do not try to squeeze them.
