POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. White hair in a young child, like a 2-year-old, can have several causes, though it’s relatively uncommon. The most common reason is genetics; if premature graying runs in the family, it might simply be inherited. Another possibility is a deficiency in certain nutrients, particularly vitamins like B12, D, and minerals like copper, which are important for hair pigmentation. In rare cases, conditions such as vitiligo or certain thyroid disorders can lead to depigmentation of hair. It’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician to rule out any nutritional deficiencies or underlying health issues. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals may help in preventing further premature graying if it’s due to a deficiency.
