A. There are some health conditions that can cause gray hair in children. One such condition is alopecia areata, which causes patches of hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. As the hair grows back, it may be gray at first. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause gray hair.So if your toddler has only one gray hair or even a few more, don't worry. It is also seen as a patch in pigment disorder – vitiligo. In addition, it is seen in some less common conditions that run in the family, like tuberous sclerosis, neurofibromatosis and Waardenburg syndrome.Gray hair occurs with normal aging because the hair cells on the scalp produce less melanin; in children, early graying tends to be inherited. A single strand of gray hair is most noticeable in people with darker hair and is usually not worrisome if the child's general health is normal.
