What is the reason for white pubic hair

Pubic hair is hidden in our most private place. Although it is rarely seen by others, it also has its own uses: absorbing sweat, ventilating, reducing friction, etc. Although we don't usually pay much attention to pubic hair, once there is something abnormal about it, we will inevitably worry whether there is something wrong with our body. For example, when white pubic hair appears in the private parts, everyone is afraid that there is something wrong with their body. Now let me tell you what the appearance of white pubic hair is.

Common causes of pubic hair whitening include nutritional, mental factors, systemic diseases and some albinism. The pathogenesis is related to the lack of melanin in the skin. If there is local inflammation, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and actively take anti-inflammatory treatment. If there are local skin changes, pay attention to the possibility of vitiligo. In addition, pay attention to relaxing your mind and eating a light diet. You will feel better after a period of time.

On the one hand, the graying of pubic hair may be caused by endocrine disorders and premature aging. On the other hand, it may be nutritional, mental factors, systemic diseases and some albinism, and the pathogenesis is related to the lack of melanin in the skin.

The tyrosinase activity of the pigment cells of the hair follicles gradually weakens, and the pigment of the hair shaft gradually decreases, resulting in gray hair. If observed under an electron microscope, very few pigment cells can be seen in the hair papilla and hair shaft. As people age, their hair slowly turns white. In terms of occurrence and development, white hair mostly starts on the temporal sides and temples of the head and gradually develops, and it takes several years or longer to develop to the entire head. During this process, the beard, eyebrows, armpit hair and pubic hair may also begin to turn white a little, but compared to the head hair, the degree is much lighter, that is, they start to turn white later and the amount is less.

From the above content, we can know that the appearance of white pubic hair does not necessarily mean that there is a problem with the body. As we age, just like our hair will turn white, our pubic hair will also turn white over time. However, if white pubic hair appears in young people, we must go to the hospital for further investigation.
