What is it?
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden, patchy hair loss in children. It usually appears as round or oval bald patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or other hair-bearing areas. The skin in the affected area looks smooth and normal, without redness or scaling. The condition is not contagious and does not result from poor hair care or hygiene.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management focuses on confirming the diagnosis and stimulating healthy hair regrowth while supporting the child and family. The dermatologist examines the scalp and hair loss pattern and may assess associated triggers such as stress, recent illness, or family history. Treatment may include topical medications, immune-modulating therapies, and gentle scalp care, depending on severity.
