Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. How should I deal with the bald patch on my four-month-old baby's head?Doctor's answer:
The causes of (scalp hair loss on the back of the head) are multifaceted. It could be due to insufficient nutritional intake during the mother's pregnancy, a too-hard pillow, or calcium deficiency. However, most cases of are often caused by physiological hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and frequent friction between the head and the pillow.Do not dress or cover the child excessively, as this can reduce sweating, especially during sleep, which is a good way to alleviate. You can take the child for a blood test to check their calcium levels. If there is no calcium deficiency, there is no need to supplement unnecessarily—simply increasing sun exposure can be beneficial.
