What are the reasons for a child having sparse hair at birth?

Patient's question:

The child has been born for a month, and their hair is quite sparse. What can I eat to help them grow more hair? Additionally, there are many small red dots on their face, especially around the mouth. What are they, and how can they be treated? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, hair loss for a baby of this age is a temporary physiological phenomenon. 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 apply baby eczema cream externally for treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "Why is my child's hair relatively sparse at one month old?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
