Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can be particularly distressing for children and their families. Various factors can cause hair loss in children, including:
Tinea Capitis: A fungal infection that affects the scalp. Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder that causes hair to fall out in small patches. Telogen Effluvium: A condition where stress, fever, or illness causes hair follicles to enter a resting phase. Trichotillomania: A psychological disorder where children pull out their own hair. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and vitamins A and D.
