<bot>: Cellophane you for posting on Chat Doctor. It seems you are suffering from Seborrhea dermatitis, which secondarily leads to hairball and thus It's important to treat it first hand. I would recommend you a short course of oral antifungal Chat Doctor.  Use a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole and salicylic acid twice a week. Take antihistamines as required for itching. Avoid excessive use of hair oil. As for the hairball, start oral supplements containing biotin and other essential vitamins and minerals (Collinear new) once a day for at least 3 months. Greying of hair occurs when the melanin of a particular hair follicle is permanently exhausted. Premature grain of hair is attributed to many factors like diet, nutrition, UV rays, pollution, cosmetics/dyes/colors, genetics, medications etc. Treatment of gray hair is pretty challenging. I would advise you biotin and calcium pantothenate combination tablets for at least 6-8 months. Apply Alexis gel containing Militant, which is a new compound shown good results in premature grain of hair. Also, a novel hair sunscreen cum hair serum Q era black has shown good results in presentation of hair damage from sun and pollution. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and try to de-stress your lifestyle. Try to limit your smoking and alcohol intake. Hope you get well soon
