Brief Answer:
Treatment options for premature graying
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query and I have understood it.
Graying of hair is part of ageing.
The age at which hair start to turn grey varies from individual to individual and is predominantly genetically determined.
When scalp hair start to turn grey before 30 years it is said to be premature, although it is not uncommon to have a few countable gray strands of hair before 30 years.
However, when graying starts affecting more than just a few hair strands before age 30 and becomes noticeable, it becomes a cause for concern and treatment is often sought.
Currently available treatment options for bothersome premature graying are Oral Calcium Pantothenate and Oral Para Amino Benzoic Acid/ PABA.
Topical 1% Melitane is also helpful in reversing premature graying.
These are prescription drugs, therefore, I suggest that you talk to a dermatologist in your vicinity for the needful.
There are no side effects of these medications.
Treatment is long term i.e at least 4- 6 months.
Goal is to prevent further progression and reverse already existing graying.
Response is variable and varies from individual to individual.
Regards
