Child,11 and hair turning white?

Can anyone tell me if this is a sign of any illness? My son's hair has been slowly turning white since he was 5. Every time i bring him to the barber the guy would comment on it and my smart-*** son would reply that it's because his mother is giving him pressure to excel in his academic studies. (LOL) His original hair color is black and it is VERY obvious.



Anyone has the same experience with their children? And if yes, is there any remedy or is it all considered natural? Appreciate any comments, thanks.

So you're telling us that you never thought to ask a DOCTOR about this at any point over the past SIX years?



Obviously, something isn't normal. The only reason I know of for people's hair to turn white besides old age is witnessing something VERY traumatic. But when that occurs, it is my understanding that the hair turns white very quickly.



Ya might just want to ask a doctor rather than a bunch of strangers on the internet.

You need to take him to the doctor.



There are a number of auto immune disorders that can cause hair to turn white. Later it may fall out.



You need to have him seen ASAP.

It's genetic but I can't remember what it is called. A doctor can do a blood test and tell you. it's similar to the skin disorder called Vertiligo (The skin goes white and patchy cause it loses it's pigmentation)

That's not good. There is something wrong with your child. Take him to the Doctor asap. You let this go on for 6 years and not questioned a doctor

I don't know if this is true or not, but I have heard of people who use Aspartame (NutraSweet) having their hair turn white among other nasty side effects. If you all use it,drink diet drinks or eat diet foods, you might try cutting those out. Good luck!

my dad knew of a girl whose hair had turned completely white and she was only 15 years old at the time. Also my grandfather was completely white haired by the time he was 19. Even I have been going progressively white haired since I was 20. I'm now 26 and most of my hair is now white, with small patches of my original dark brown hair. So your son's hair turning white could just be natural. I'd still see a doctor though as you can never be too sure with these kind of things.

I would see a specialist. there is more to this



Child,11 and hair turning white?

NO--it has nothing to do with trauma--it is part of what this kid is---and he is a kid getting white hair---the doctor said not to worry--so stop worrying
