Brief Answer:
melitane gel

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
This premature greying of hair is known as Canites.
This is usually hereditary or genetic. It may occcur due to nutritional deficiency, cosmetic use, ammoniated hair XXXXXXX use.
I usually advice my such patients to avoid the offending agent if any.
Melitane available as Altris gel is the latest invention for this. This gel has to be applied over the affected hair once a day. The results are satisfactory. Most of the patients start improving after 4-6 weeks of use.
You should visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription.
You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps.
Take care

Here are few questions i would like to ask before tryng this treatment.

1. When i search about this gel in google, results showing this name "Melnora", so i'm lil confused about this gel, from where i can buy this gel and if there's a way to buy it online?

2. Please explain me complete procedure to use this gel, should i use it after bath for whole day and should i use it only on infected area?

3. Let me know if there is any negative effect of this gel ? does it harm my black haired beard if it doesn't work well with infected area ?

4. While using this cream, what are few things i should avoid and take care of ?

5. There's any other medicine to get rid of this issue and fullfill the lack of body hormonal requirements ?

6. Should i consult a docter before using this gel ?

Brief Answer:
it is melitane available as Altris gel

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome back.
Melitane is the salt in the gel. It is available in market as Altris gel.
You should not use it without your doctor's prescription.
Every medicine has its own side effects ao should be used under doctor's supervision only. Here I can advise you But we cannot give you prescription nor can supervise you.
it should be applied on dry affected hair and can be left as such for whole day or night.
If Applied in excess may cause Irritant contact dermatitis so minimal amount should be applied . It wont affect your black hair.
You should first consult your doctor in person so that he can monitor and superve you regularly.
I hope I am able to solve your query.
If you have any further query, you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
