A member asked:
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?

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.
