Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. What should I do if a newborn has very little hair?Doctor's answer:
The amount of hair varies from person to person. Although some newborns have sparse hair, it gradually grows out around the age of one. By the time they are two years old, their hair has grown quite a lot. By the age of 5-6, their hair becomes as dense and dark as other babies', and generally, there is no hair loss afterward.Due to the baby's sparse hair, some parents hesitate to wash their child's hair, fearing that it may cause the already sparse hair to fall out, making it even sparser.
