What is it?
Patchy hair loss in children refers to hair loss occurring in distinct areas of the scalp rather than generalized thinning. It may appear as round or irregular bald patches and can be caused by conditions such as alopecia areata, scalp fungal infections, excessive hair pulling, or trauma to the hair. The affected skin may look smooth, scaly, or inflamed depending on the underlying cause.
How it works
At Claire Derma, evaluation focuses on identifying the exact cause of patchy hair loss. The dermatologist examines the scalp, hair roots, and skin condition and reviews medical history and recent illnesses or stress. Treatment is tailored to the cause and may include topical or oral medications, scalp treatments, or behavioral guidance when required.
