What is it?
Hair fall in children refers to excessive or noticeable hair shedding that is more than normal for a child’s age. It may present as thinning hair, increased hair on pillows or combs, or visible scalp patches. Common causes include nutritional deficiencies, stress, infections, scalp conditions, tight hairstyles, or underlying medical issues. Temporary hair fall is common, but persistent hair loss needs evaluation.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management of hair fall in children focuses on identifying the underlying cause. The dermatologist examines the scalp, hair pattern, and medical history and may assess diet, growth milestones, and recent illnesses. Treatment may include addressing nutritional gaps, treating scalp conditions, prescribing topical solutions when required, and providing guidance on gentle hair care practices.
