My 2 Year Old Has Significant Hair Loss
Hello,
I have a healthy 2 year old daughter who up until 8 weeks ago had a full head of hair. Now the front/top of her scalp is experiencing significant hairloss. There are no actual spots without hair (it is either breakage or regrowth). The dermatologist diagnosed her with seborraic dermitits, however upon reading, I’ve noticed that this is not common to cause hairloss. Neither sides of the family have any baldness. The dermatologist mentioned possible TE, but I’m finding it hard to believe that either TE or dermitits would cause this much hair loss in a child that previously had thick healthy hair. Do you think either of these conditions would possibly cause so much hair loss in a 2 year old? Thank you
I agree with you that I do not like the suggestion that this is seborrheic dermatitis. Speak with her pediatrician and get an another referral for a second opinion.
