What causes white hair at a young age?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your history, I can understand that you are troubled with premature greying of hair. To rule out other causes, I needed you to answer a few of my queries related to the history of the presentation. Approximately, how many hairs are greyed? Is there any ulcer or balding related to the greying? At what age have you started noticing? Any relevant family history of the same? Any chronic diseases like diabetes, hypothyroidism, vitiligo, or any other genetic diseases? About the plucking of white hairs, there is only single hair that is present in a hair root/follicle, so if you pluck your white hair, another white hair grows in its place as the melanocytes or the cells that are responsible for the black color is already dead in that follicle. When you pluck a hair, there can be trauma to the surrounding hair follicles too and that is why you feel that there is an increase in the white hairs. Certain premature greying happens without any treatable cause, and there is no specific treatment for it other than covering your greys with coloring or dyeing. But if there is a vitamin B12 deficiency, you need to get it treated by taking the supplements.

I hope this helps.
