Hi Sir, The hairs over his skullcap are white. Just four or five in numbers. No one in our family has encountered such a problem. Till now he hasn?t any medical issue but I am worried. He is just 3 years of age. Good height, physical activity, digestive system, weight. Immunity is bit weak, often gets sore throat, little bit chest congestion. Please help.

Strand of hair can appear gray when it contains a decreased amount of a pigment called melanin, and it can look white if there is no pigment at all. Gray hair occurs with normal aging because the hair cells on the scalp produce less melanin; in children, early graying tends to be inherited. Let's discuss your concern in detail for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
