Hair Loss
Hair loss in children can happen for different reasons. The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Alopecia may be caused by fungal infections, stress, friction, nutritional deficiencies or problems with hormones. Hair loss can also happen when the germ-fighting immune system attacks the hair follicles (tubes that hair grows from) by mistake.ย ย
