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 using the Sebamed sunscreen with SPF 50, and it seems to be working fine for me. But I'm a bit confused and worried about whether it's safe to use SPF 50 all the time, especially since I can't find the Sebamed sunscreen lotion with SPF 30. They do have a spray version with SPF 30, but I'm not sure if a spray is as effective. I've read some advice from doctors that sprays might not be as good. Can you help me figure out if I'm using the right sunscreen? I'm also using a face wash and moisturizer from the same brand.

SPF 3O is advised to the patient.

Hey, so I've noticed a weird lump on my buttocks that popped up last month. At first, I thought it was just a heat boil, so I used a pain relief patch and eventually thought it healed. But now it's come back, and I'm not sure what's going on. Do you have any idea what this could be or what I should do about it?

I'm not capable of viewing images, but based on your description, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor or dermatologist to examine the lump and determine the cause, as it could be a sign of an underlying condition, such as a cyst, abscess, or skin infection.
