Hair Loss in Children

  1026 Views

Dr Manish K Shah, Mumbai    21 January 2019

  • Androgenic hair loss can occur quite early in childhood and is not always associated with premature puberty.
  • Adrenal tumors are a rare cause of poorly responsive androgenic hair loss. Alopecia areata incognita can sometimes cause diffuse hair loss in children.
  • Loose anagen syndrome is probably being missed in Indian children. It responds quite well to topical minoxidil.
  • Transient neonatal hair loss can present as occipital alopecia, frontotemporal hair loss or diffuse thinning.
