Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Increased bowel movements, once every other day, for over two months.
Previous treatment and its effects: Currently, no treatment has been administered. What kind of assistance is desired: It is hoped that the child will no longer lose hair...
Doctor's answer:
There are various reasons for this, such as malnutrition, calcium deficiency, anemia, and physiological acne (commonly seen in babies who haven't had their lanugo trimmed for four to five months). High and long-term intake of vitamin A can lead to accumulation and poisoning in the body, causing hair, eyebrows, and body hair to fall out, accompanied by dry hair, itchy scalp, and cracked lips. However, long-term deficiency can also result in sparse hair on the head, torso, and lower limbs. Additionally, a lack of protein, zinc, iron, copper, vitamin A, B2, B6, C, D, H (biotin), and M (folic acid) can cause hair to become dry, yellow, brittle, and fall out.For conditions like rickets, excessive sweating can cause the baby to shake their head frequently while sleeping, rubbing against the pillow, leading to sparse and falling hair on the back of the head, forming a typical circular pattern of hair loss, medically known as "" (). To date, the most common cause of childhood acne is a fungal infection on the scalp, known as tinea. It can cause circular patches of acne on the scalp. It is recommended to have the baby tested for hair and trace elements for targeted treatment.
You can add fish oil (containing vitamin D) to the child's diet, taking 3-5 drops twice daily. If the child is breastfeeding, the mother should consume more vitamin D-rich foods such as liver, eggs, and fish oil. Additionally, milk, beans, and seafood are rich in calcium.
