How should one handle a child with white hair?
Answer
White hair in children, also known as premature graying, can have complex causes, categorized into congenital and acquired types. Acquired white hair may be related to malnutrition, chronic diseases, mental stress, or endocrine issues. Congenital white hair is usually caused by genetic factors. Treatment methods include improving nutrition, using medications such as He Shou Wu, Goji berries, and mulberries, as well as traditional Chinese medicine’s black hair pills. Additionally, psychological well-being, physical exercise, and a healthy diet can help prevent and treat white hair.
