Hair: This is hair that has no pigment. Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This way you can find out what is causing this.

It could be Poliosis: There is a condition called poliosis where a patch of white hair hair or a streak of white occurs. Some people are born with a congenital lack of pigment in a patch of hair follicle.
