What Causes Grey Hair Of A Just Born?

Dear Sir,

I have a new born baby girl of 4 months old. At the time of the delivery , a few hairs of her head showing white colour. We consult with 2-3 doctors. they are not giving any good replys.

Can you please tell me, it because of any skin problem or any internal problem.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. If i could see photo of the kids head, it is easy to diagnose. There is one condition called Shaw waardenberg syndrome where child will have white forelock , grey colour iris, some time associated with intestinal problem. If the child is growing well , nothing needs to be done.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing your child good health.
