Can juvenile white hair be inherited

First: under normal circumstances, the hair will gradually turn white with the increase of people's age. This is because the melanocytes gradually die with the increase of age. In addition, mental factors, poor nutrition and diseases, such as vitiligo, are the causes of premature white hair. However, in the patients we contact, genetic factors still account for the vast majority.

Second: congenital genes determine that their melanocytes will die prematurely and can no longer produce melanin, so their hair will turn white at a very young age. This is heredity. As long as you go back to your parents or look around your family, you can find several relatives with similar situations.

Third: because the mechanism of this genetic phenomenon is not clear in the medical community, there is basically no effective treatment. The color of hair is mainly determined by the pigment cells of the human body. For example, in Asians, the melanin in the body is dominant, so the hair is black. In European and American countries, the brown pigment in the body is dominant, so the hair is golden, brown and red.

matters needing attention

There are many external factors that cause white hair, so the patients' friends must have a normal attitude towards the disease. Don't blindly believe in the so-called "treatment center" method of "white hair turns black", which is a waste of money. It's better to consult a regular hospital first.
