Accepted Answer

See a provider: If you have liver cirrhosis or fatty liver, you are high risk for an infection in your abdomen, a GI bleed, and certain types of cancer. See a healthcare provider as soon as possible as you may need further testing or even admission into the hospital.

Question 7

im male 18.i have premature grey hair not due to genetics, deficiencies, or a disease. when i was younger i was blonde but then turned brunette.could my hair be turning blonde again?a few hairs are getting grey and some other blonde(less than grey)?

Accepted Answer

: Your post makes assumptions about genetics among other issues. Known family members without the young onset gray do not completely remove the possibility you could be the first with the condition. A visit to a dermatologist for a good exam may provide you with the answer. It will not be found on the net.

Question 8

im 18, male. i suffer from premature hair greying due to atopic dermatitis. is atopic dermatitis a chronic disease or can it be cured? if it can not be cured, can i still prevent my hair from greying, or even reverse it?

Accepted Answer

: Technically, it is the dermatitis that is causing the greying as long as there is no history in your family of premature greying. If the dermatitis is treated enough so that there is no inflammation of the skin, then the hair will not turn grey and there is a possibility that some of the grey hair can be reversed over time to normal color.

Question 9

im 18. i suffer from premature hair greying, but not due to genetics. the cause is a chronic dermatological disease, atopic dermatitis. can i protect my hair from turning grey even if i can not permanently cure atopic dermatitis?

Accepted Answer

: I am not aware of atopic dermatitis directly causing grey hair.  Suggest that you see a dermatologist for evaluation of your greying problem and some other possible causes.

Question 10

how to increase grey matter of brain. i am suffering from a degenerative disease because of which i got  lack of lower limbs coordination.

Accepted Answer

Sorry to hear that: I'm not aware of any method available with current technology that will increase your gray matter.  Remain as active you can be, exercise and get physical therpay to make the most of what you have for as long as you can.
