What The Cause And Cure For Whitening Beard When The Hair On The Head Is Still Black?
dear sir I am 27 years old . The hair of my beard (only left side) is changing into white since a year and 8 to 10% hairs of the beard has been changed from black to white. white hairs are slowly going up to my mustaches. But hair of my head is black and no any changing seen. Why it is being changed only of beared hair. Kindly suggest reason & suitable medicines please.

Hello friend
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understood your concern.
Such whitening of hair involving beard and moustache area can be due
1. Premature greying which may be constititional
2. Genetic
3. Associated with vitiligo
I need to know if your parents have history of greying hair bef 40 yrs of age?
Is there any underlying light colored patch ??
Kindly reply to my questions so that i can help you further.
THANX
