What are the reasons for sparse hair in newborns?

Patient's question:

A month has passed since the child was born, and his hair is quite sparse. What should I eat to help him grow thick and abundant hair? Additionally, he has many small red dots on his face, especially around his mouth. What are they, and how should they be treated? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, hair thinning is a temporary physiological phenomenon for a baby of this age. Usually, a baby's hair will gradually become thicker around one year old, and by the age of 5-6, it will become increasingly dense. The red spots on the face are likely to be eczema. You can use baby eczema cream for external treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "What causes a baby to have sparse hair at one month old?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
