Brief Answer:
Advice for premature graying of hair and acne
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
The first onset of gray hair and the speed at which people go gray varies from person to person.
"Premature graying" is defined as gray hair onset before age 30 in Asians. The most common areas on the scalp in which to first see gray hair development are above the ears OR at the temples. The graying of hairs then spreads to other areas.
Currently treatment options are limited but are worth the indication- Para aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and Calcium pantothenate are well known and are known to arrest and even reverse premature graying e.g Pabatab-BZ Tablet Or Vighan - CP Tablet. You may take either of these for at least 6-8 months under supervision of a dermatologist in your region.
Topical Melitane is a new molecule that has recently be come available for premature graying of hair. It is available as a 5% serum and needs to be applied once daily (2ml) at night at the roots. It can be use for both scalp as well as beard graying.
For acne you may use Brevoxyl 4% cream for day time application and Deriva- CMS gel for night application.
I would also suggest Cap Microdox - LBX 100 mg twice daily for 2-4 weeks.
Hope this helps
Regards
