Answer 2

Please, please take the child to be seen! Hair loss at any age (besides obvious reasons, i.e. old age, chemotherapy,etc.) can be very serious. A child can suffer from hair loss for a number of reasons, one being stress. Stress can come from ones environment (difficult family life, school problems, living situation, etc.) or within ones body(disease, mental issues, etc.). Hair loss can occur with nutritional deficits, certain diseases, hair pulling (by self or others)...there are a number of situations all depending on the child's age, environment, and state of health. But, hair loss in a child is NOT NORMAL! The child has to be evaluated by a health care provider immediately. This can be a very serious situation, especially if the problem has been ongoing for some time. Delaying treatment any further can really hurt this child.

Answer 4

alapatia pronounced al-u-pay-sha not certain of the spelling but it is a genetic condition that happens to some people and it can happen in infancy and beyond. it can be temporary and permanent. when my daughter was young she lost a patch of hair at 2 yr. old and was diagnosed with temporary alapatia, most of the hair grew back but she has a small bald spot on the back of her head, luckily it is covered up by the rest of her hair. i also have a friend who has permanent alapatia and she lost all of her hair at 16 it affected everything from her eyebrows to legs, all body hair. only a doctor can diagnose it, i believe it is a simple blood test. if it is in an infant they some times lose patches of hair on their head from rubbing the head back and forth on the crib or bed.

alopecia. it doesnt have a cause. my son has it. hes had it since he was 4 months old and now hes 9 years old.
the word alopecia just means hair loss. maybe after 9 years they found a reason why. but my son still has a bald patch on him after all this time.
