2 Year Old Daughter Has Bald Spot on Crown
My 2 year old daughter started with a bald spot on the crown of her head and now it is really thin on top. She pulls out her hair when she gets mad but not often enough to cause this. She wont eat well and vitamins dont seem to healp the situation. Can you please tell me what is wrong?
First of all, your pediatrician should be central to your daughter’s management of her ‘hair loss’. Young children go through varying quality of hairs at different ages. Have you noticed that many children are almost bald under the age of 1? This is not really balding, but rather a migration from a baby’s fine hair to a child’s thicker hair that occurs in the first few years of life. Could you daughter be in such a transitional phase, assuming that the bald spot is not really a spot but rather an area that appears bald? Although there are many causes of hair loss in children (infections, genetic and autoimmune diseases, etc.) you have to be sure not to overreact. See your pediatrician.
