Patient's question:
Born so far, the previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment, what kind of assistance is needed: The baby's hair is very yellow, is it a lack of any vitamins?Doctor's answer:
You can have your baby's hair tested for trace elements, supplementing zinc if deficient, iron if deficient, and copper if deficient. There are multiple reasons for yellow hair, including different races, generational inheritance, and the content of trace elements like iron, lead, zinc, cobalt, copper, platinum, and nickel in the hair, as well as the amount of melanin in hair cells and certain diseases (e.g., phenylketonuria, kidney disease). Therefore, hair turning yellow is related to nutrition and illness. After ruling out diseases, excessive consumption of sugar, fat, and acidic substances in the diet can cause yellow hair, as well as a lack of certain trace elements (e.g., iron, copper, zinc). A deficiency in copper can reduce the function of tyrosinase, interfering with the metabolism of melanin, while a deficiency in iron and zinc can disrupt the growth and development of hair cells, leading to yellow hair. It is recommended to have a medical examination. You can have your baby undergo a trace element test.
