What medicines or creams should I use to treat excessive hair loss, hair whitening, and the skin hardening on my thumbs and fingers caused by using a keyboard and mouse for 10-12 hours a day over the past year?
For the hardened skin on your fingers, apply a 10% urea cream or salicylic acid ointment daily to soften the calluses, and use an ergonomic mouse pad. For hair loss and whitening often triggered by work stress and long hours, a dermatologist may recommend Minoxidil 5% topical solution for hair regrowth. Additionally, daily supplements containing Biotin, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D3 can help support hair health and pigment. Because these symptoms can stem from stress, nutritional deficiencies, or repetitive strain, please consult a dermatologist for a physical evaluation and personalised prescription-strength treatments.
