A member asked:

I am getting white hair very early & quickly compared to my elder brothers. is vitamin b12 or can you advise on medicine that can sustain my melanin.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No pills: You may dye your hair if grey is cosmetically troublesome to you. As an aside, masturbation does not cause gray hair. B12 or other vitamins are not likely to be helpful unless you are deficient in those.
