Can I Pass My Alopecia On To My Baby?

Hi I was diagnosed with alopecia two years ago and was receiving treatment and had hair regrowth then stopped treatment and got pregnant I am now 7 months and I’m having rapid hair loss. My question is about the baby, does my problem have any effect on the baby and will I pass it on to him in any way. I also want to know if i will loss all my hair or what should I expect to see after the baby is born and what kind of treatment is best after pregnancy.

I could have answered your questions much better if I knew the type of your alopecia. “Alopecia” just means hair loss. For example, is it female pattern alopecia, alopecia areata, or another type? You need to see a hair specialist to diagnose your hair loss. Most types of alopecia disorders have genetic influences. Genetics go from father and mother to children.

I recommend you to see a good dermatologist for treatment of your own condition and speak with your obstetrician about your concerns for your baby.
