This morning I was shocked to see a strand of while hair on my 3 year old toddler. Why would a young child at this age have white hair? Is this normal? I always thought that white hair are a sign of aging and perhaps could be also due to hereditary. Both me and my partner did not have white hair while we were younger. What could be the reason for this? Anyone has got the same thing happening to their young child as well?
my 2 year boy baby has white hair, can you please give me tips or antibiotic.

early age white hair by: V Loganathan
My son is 15 yrs old. For the last 3 - 4 yrs, we are seeing many hairs at the middle of his scalp getting white instead the natural colour. Due to which, he feel shameful and his co-students are also teasing him quoting the white hairs. So, we wish our son must get rid off this problem. Please send an idea as to how this problem could be cured earliest possible.

WHITE HAIR IN 6 YR OLD by: Anonymous
my 6 year old daughter too has strands of white. I first noticed 2-3 when she was 4 but now she has 30 or so and it is very worrying.Strngely also some of the white hair are turnig black again. Nobody in my family has a history of premature greying .I have been to 2 paedeiatricians and both have disregarded it as genetic. I am not satisfied by that answer and am planning to consult a dermatologist .

14, and already white. by: Nana
I'm 14, and half my head is already white. No need to stress. I don't even hide it. It's a nice contrast to the top layers of black. My hair is naturally black, and I don't use anything in my hair other than shampoo and conditioner. It is genetic. Both my parents had whites at a very young age, and they both had it because of malnutrition.
And to the person above me, yes, you do look smarter and wiser with your white hairs. As an honor student, I take pride.
Hair color isn't something to stress out about. It's perfectly normal. If you still have issues, you should go to a pediatrician. A single white hair may just fall out and so be it.

nothing is wrong by: Anonymous
Accordingly to my peers and relatives and my own knowledge gained from school it is NORMAL to have white hair. There is no need for panic because you're not the only person who has it apparently. It's rather you ate too much meat or genetics. It could also be the age you gave birth. It's fine!
IF you are yet concerned, please go to the doctors and get an maintenance. It is most definitely more efficient to have an appointment than loitering discussing this. Although rest assured that it's normal! NOTHING IS WRONG!!

Nothing wrong with grey hair by: Mountain
I was 11 yes old when I started noticing grey hair on my head, at 18 my beard was going grey, by 20 my entire chin was white beard. I kinda like it, really makes people wonder about my actual age.
Generally for a child to have grey hair often means that they have a medical condition, for me it turns out I have had heart problems from birth but it was never caught until I had my second heart attack at age 36.
If you have a child getting grey hair, especially if they have more and more each year I would suggest really looking to see if they have an unknown medical condition. I would like to differentiate though between having white hair and going grey, many people have white hair as children which turns dark in adolescence, my wife and daughter my father and grandmother are examples of this.

Okay really, it's either heredity, allergies, or it's just simply a dying hair strand that lost it's pigmentation. Really parents, I'm 12 and I have some white hair, but I don't freak out about it. Relax, it's fine. Your son/daughter won't grow up to be a mutant monster or anything.

Im 14, I have one single white hair and im fine. by: Anonymous
I'm fourteen and I have a single white hair in my hair. Calm the hell down people. One white or gray hair is nothing. Heaps of indian kids are born with one white or grey hair. It's nothing to worry or care about. If you know, your kid's got more than a few grey or white hairs, then you might want to worry, but apart from that having one grey or white hair doesn't matter. As I said before, alot of kids are born with one and it was probably just a screw up in the making of the baby.

Don't worry about it! by: Anonymous
Jeez, there's a lot of ridiculous theories about white hair. Well I for one was born with a strand of white hair on the side of my head. I'm thirteen years old and still alive (for those of you who think your children will die early if they have white hair...they WON'T)My dad has it too. Might be genetic might not. I do have allergies but just to pollen (that's not weird) I am not prone to diseases either. I'm healthy, I eat plenty of fruits AND vegetables. So the lack of eating vegetables is not the result for white hair. And what's with the FUNGUS theory, you just make me feel like a dirty person when you say that! Some people think your smarter if you have white hair at a young age, but it's just myth (maybe)
Parents...just calm down. Heck, if you're still worried ask your pedeatricion. Duhh.

Not to worry about it I guess by: Anonymous
I have had five white strands of hair in one spot of my head I guess since I was born. My hair is completely black ands I am now 12. I had forgotten the fact that my mom told me so I just pulled out that hair.
But, I don't have any problems, no allergies,I'm not prone to dieseases, and I'm a very smart person. I live a normal life. Of course I can't answer why this is happening. I'm a child myself and I'm pretty sure it wasn't inherited from my grandparents because i am the only one in my family like that.
I'm sure there souldnt be to much to worry about.

Wondering the same Vitamins? Toxins? by: Anonymous
I recently discovered a few white hairs on myself. Being almost 37, I thought it was normal.
Then I found a very few white hairs on each of my three children, aged 7,8, and 10.
All of our white hairs are about the same length; about 2.5-3 inches. Being that hair grows about 6" a year, and we've lived in our house about 7-8 months, this seems very suspicious to me.
I've been doing internet searches for clues. Most of what I'm reading about points at Vitamin deficiency. However, there hasn't been any significant changes in our diets.
There are a number of diseases listed for childhood premature graying. I didn't find anything related to exposure to specific toxins. Again, it does appear that this is related to something in our current home, so it seems dangerous. I'm going to test our water. Even though we one the best water filters, we bath and cook with our house water.
I read something about a fungus possibility.
My instinct though is that unless there's a family history of childhood graying, something is not right and should be investigated and treated. It's not natural.

b12, not from vegetables. by: mk
Just to point out a mistake below, vegetables are a *very* poor source of b12.
While vegetables are good for many things, b12 is not one of them. In fact, it is very difficult to get b12 from plant sources of any kind, which is why b12 deficiency is a common concern (although less often a problem) among vegans.
Good sources of b12 are animal proteins (meats, fish, eggs and milk), fortified foods (i.e.: cereals), or vitamins. There is also some production of b12 by bacteria in our intestines, but it forms pretty far down where absorption is poor in most people.
However, deficiency is very unlikely unless they have digestive problems. Most children have diets that contain vastly more b12 than they need.
It doesn't take much b12 to satisfy the body. One cup of milk or yogurt has more b12 than a 3 year old needs in a day (0.9ug), as does 2 eggs or 1 ounce of beef.
Unlike most other b vitamins, the body can also store very large quantities of b12 (many years worth!) so you don't even need to get it every day, or even every week, as long as you get enough on average.
Unless your child is not eating any animal products, fortified cereals, or vitamins, the odds of b12 deficiency are small.

lack of vitamin B12 by: Judy
It could be due to a lack of vitamin B12 which usually comes from eating vegetables. I wouldn't be overly worried as it is usually just a passing phase which could be overcome as they grow older. Maybe a simple blood test by your pediatrician could help to determine any B12 deficiency.
