Brief Answer:
Once skeletal growth stops, it cannot be resumed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM!
This is Dr. Sridhar and I shall be answering your question.
I completely understand your problem. However XXXXXXX I am sorry to say that once you have crossed your growing age (18-20 in case of males), it is impossible for your height to increase. No drug can increase height in an adult.
You just have come across certain advertisements showing drugs to increase height. They mostly contain hormones and are very unsafe to use. They will not increase your height but rather cause more damage to your body than good.
Your body stops growing once in height you reach an age of 18-20.
I hope I've answered your query. It's OK XXXXXXX to have an height of 5 feet, one inch. Every person is made unique. It's better if you find your strength and work on it rather than worrying about your height.
Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
If you are satisfied with my answer, you may stop this discussion and rate my answer.
Wish you good health.
With regards,
Dr. Sridhar

Brief Answer:
Might be due to stress
Detailed Answer:
Hi !
Eyebrows turning white may be due to a variety of reasons.
But at this age, whitening/greying of hairs/eyebrows is largely attributed to the stress levels.
Stress in life in known to cause whitening of hairs. I feel maybe this is all related to your worry about your height.
Is the skin around the discolored eyelids and eyebrows white as well? In that case, this might a condition called Vitiligo. For this to be confirmed, you'll have to visit a dermatologist.
Even as such, I'd suggest you to visit a dermatologist once to exclude any other cause.
An easy procedure to conceal them will be with the use of dyes. However, I request you to use the XXXXXXX cautiously and under expert supervision as the area involved is very close to your eyes.
Yes, there are certain provisions of sending pictures and reports. I request you to kindly contact the customer care regarding this (sending pictures) as they will be able to answer this query better.
Hope I've been able to solve your query XXXXXXX Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
If you are satisfied, you may close the discussion and rate my answer.
Wish you good health.
