Premature greying of hairs
I have been dealing with premature greying of hair since I was 15 years old, I am 21 now. The condition has progressed significantly over the years, and I now have a large number of white hairs.
Recently, I also noticed one hair in my mustache and one in my beard that have turned brownish—they are not fully white, but they are also not dark like the rest of my hair.
Could you explain why this progressive greying is happening at my age, and if the 'browning' of facial hair is a specific indicator of anything? What diagnostic tests or medical investigations should I undergo to understand the underlying cause and determine if this can be managed?"
