Hi, I’m a 15-year-old male with premature greying since age 13–13.5 (currently ~30–50 strands, mostly top/crown). Recently noticed slowing and around 7–8 hairs showing darker roots/turning black with supplements.

🧪 Blood Results

• Vitamin D: 8.49 ng/mL (severely low)
• Vitamin B12: 272 pg/mL (borderline low)
• Ferritin: 45.9 ng/mL (low for hair)
• TSH, T3, T4: Normal
• CBC: Mostly normal (MCV/MCH slightly low)

💊 Supplements & Treatment

• Currently:
  • Melitane topical (Altris-5)
  • MOM-XL (Zinc, Copper, antioxidants)
  • Vitamin B12 supplement
• Previously:
  • Biotin (3 months)

❓ Questions

1. Are these deficiencies enough to explain early greying?
2. Is this reversible at my stage?
3. Should I still test Copper/Zinc/Folate? 4.Is there a doc or someone who can help me here

Looking for informed advice, especially from dermatologists. Thanks!
