Patient's question:
SkyHello, my daughter is now three and a half months old. She had her hair cut at the time of her full moon, but so far only a part of her hair has grown back, and some areas have not grown. What could be the reason for this? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
After a baby is born, they may have very little hair growth or experience slow hair growth, which is known as "childhood baldness." There are several possible factors that can cause childhood baldness: First, it may be because the baby's fetal hair is in the shedding phase, which is a normal physiological phenomenon often observed in newborns. Besides having sparse hair, the baby feeds, moves, and behaves just like other healthy babies.
