Premature greying

I don't have much facial hair

I'm 25 and I still have no facial hair

My facial hair is not growing

Receding hair at 24

Question

For over a year my hair has been turning white, especially on the left side at the front and in pubic areas.

My father is 53 and doesn't have grey hair – I am 25 and male. Is this a stress-related thing?

Answer

You are certainly young to be going 'white', or grey. Unfortunately, this can happen at any time after puberty in healthy males.

So long as you are feeling well, and you do not suffer from any scarring skin disease, it is most likely that you are a perfectly normal man who is simply developing premature greying.

If you are worried, let the doctor look at you and your scalp just to be certain that all is well.

Yours sincerely
