Patient's question:
The baby is nine months old and developing well. The trace element check showed no deficiencies, but he has very little hair. At 100 days, he had his hair cut using a specialized hair-cutting tool (similar to a razor). His grandfather said that shaving the head with a razor helps the hair grow back thicker (referring to the blade type). Is there any truth to this?Doctor's answer:
This condition is a symptom of malnutrition. In this case, we can supplement the child with oral calcium, iron, and zinc solutions, as well as vitamin A and D capsules, which can promote hair follicle development and improve this adverse reaction. It can also help improve the nutritional status. There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
