My 3 Year Old Is Losing Hair

My little girl is three and her hair is falling out. When it does it looks and feels like a fur ball from a cat. When she was one she had milk indused anemia. She has been on iron drops since. Her iron levels are now normal, but she is still taking iron drops. Can this have any bearing with the hair loss? Could it be too much iron in her body? She was tested for thyroid, diabetes, and other tests that could cause hair loss – all normal. The way the hair started to fall out was on one side only and now has started to fall from the top of her head. One day at her day care, another girl pulled her hair and a clump of it was sent home to me in an envelope. She is very petite for her age. She is a very nervous little girl. I am a single mother, although she sees her father several times a week and he spends time with her on the weekends. Help me with some answers. Hair loss is not an issue in the family. My hair is red and very thick. With this info please help me?

You need to see a pediatric dermatologist, a specialty in itself. I wouldn’t know how to treat hair loss conditions in a 3 year old over the internet. Sorry.
