Question
A two-year-old boy has had thin, pale hair since birth. His parents are worried it might be due to genetic issues or a vitamin deficiency and are seeking professional advice.
Answer
According to the parents’ description, the child’s thin hair may be caused by a lack of trace elements, particularly zinc deficiency, which is somewhat related to genetics. It is recommended to take the following measures: 1. Maintain a balanced diet, avoid picky eating, and ensure adequate meat intake. 2. Conduct trace element testing. 3. Take zinc supplements. 4. Correct anemia issues. Wishing the baby healthy growth!
