Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Does this problem exist in your family? If yes it is androgenetic alopecia that is common in males and related to male hormones. Premature greying of hair is also genetic and as such there is no treatment for reversing of grey hair. However, you can take Biotin supplements to reduce it. Use Minoxidil spray for this patch of hair (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Probable diagnosis

Androgenetic alopecia.

Treatment plan

Use Minoxidil spray twice daily over the scalp. Take Biotin supplements.
