Brief Answer:
Zinc supplemetion will offer cure.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.


I understand your query and concern.


You seem to have premature greying of body and scalp hair .This seems to be genetical in few individuals even though not manifested in parents.

All you currently need is Zinc supplementation on high doses.This will prevent further greying of hair along will resumption of original colour to the already affected hair.

One tab Becozinc twice a day for 90 days with periodical monitoring of liver function at the baseline and at the completion of therapy.

Please note this drug should be taken only under strict medical supervision.

Thank you.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
