What is the reason for the child's sparse hair?

Patient's question:

2-year-old boy, with very little hair from birth and some yellow hair. The elders say that the boy's father was the same when he was young. So, I would like to ask, is it genetic or a vitamin deficiency? Thank you!
Medical history and treatment outcomes: None
Desired help: Same as above

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your baby's condition is caused by a lack of trace elements, specifically zinc deficiency, which is manifested as sparse, dry, and yellow hair, and it also has a certain relationship with hereditary factors from the previous generation.
1. Proper feeding, no picky eating, no meat deficiency, no snacks.
2. Have your baby undergo a thorough trace element check-up at the hospital.
3. Take zinc supplements. Lysine-Zinc Granules. One course of treatment lasts three months.
4. Correct anemia.
Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
