Childhood Hair Loss

       Childhood Alopecia is a very real issue that is misunderstood by many. Statistics indicate that around three percent of all pediatric visits are related to child hair loss. The most common cause of pediatric hair loss is Tinea Capitis, commonly described as ringworm of the scalp. This particular type of fungus primarily attacks hair shafts and follicles. If your child has patches of red, inflamed scalp and short pieces of dry hair, it’s likely that he or she may be suffering from Tinea Capitis. Other types of childhood hair loss include Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, and Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling), as well as hair loss due to trauma.

      Between the stress of school, navigating the growing-up process, and fitting in with friends, hair loss is the last thing a child wants to deal with. Thankfully for most children and families, pediatric hair loss will resolve itself. However, for many children hair loss may be a chronic problem. This type of chronic hair loss can be a struggle for both the child and their parents as they search for answers to this problem.
