[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you seeing bald spots? That's definitely a medical problem not dermatological. [/quote] It’s a dermatologist’s area. I have alopecia areata. My regular physician was no help: it’s annoying and psychologically upsetting but it doesn’t indicate an underlying health problem. It’s an autoimmune disorder that causes circular bald spots on the head. Unfortunately, although it’s not uncommon, there aren’t many great treatments; I get steroid shots, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them for a three year old. There are also fungal infections that cause hair loss. Tight braids and twisting hair can also cause bald spots but in those cases you’d notice breakage of the hair. Alopecia leaves smooth hairless patches so it’s usually pretty easy to diagnose.[/quote]
