Doctor's answer:
"Premature graying" is a hair whitening disease that occurs during childhood and youth, with a very complex etiology. It is divided into two major types: congenital premature graying and acquired premature graying. The causes of acquired premature graying are numerous: malnutrition, such as a lack of protein, vitamins, and certain trace elements (e.g., copper); certain chronic wasting diseases like tuberculosis, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies; many long-term feverish patients; some endocrine disorders; and conditions such as encephalitis or nervous system inflammation, which can also cause hair to turn white. It is also necessary to conduct further careful examinations and provide symptomatic treatment. It is recommended that you consume more black sesame-related foods in your daily diet, and gradually, it will stabilize.
