Childern Hair Loss Causes
Hair loss in children is more common than most people realize. When a child is diagnosed with medically related hair loss, many times one parent must stop working in order to stay home and care for the child or to be available to accompany the child on medical trips for treatment. Discretionary income may decline drastically (virtually being cut in half), and wigs can often not be worked into the family budget with such a dramatically reduced income. Children are subject to several causes of hair loss, some common, some rare.
Causes of Hair Loss In Children´s
Children's Tinea Capitis hair loss: Tinea Capitis is a disease caused by fungal infection of the skin of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes, with a propensity for attacking hair shafts and follicles. It is also called "ringworm of the scalp". The condition is caused by a fungus that invades the hair shaft and causes the hairs to break.
Children's Alopecia Areata hair loss: Alopecia areata is another common form of patchy hair loss in children. The typical story is the sudden appearance of one or more totally bald areas in the scalp.
Children's Traction Alopecia hair loss: Traction Alopecia, or physical damage to the hair, is another common cause of hair loss, particularly in girls. The human hair is quite fragile and really does not respond well to the many physical and chemical assaults it has to endure in the name of beauty.
Children's Trichotillomania hair loss: Trichotillomania is the compulsion to pull out one's own hair. It results in irregular patches of incomplete hair loss, mainly on the scalp, but may involve the eyebrows and eyelashes as well.
Children's Telogen Effluvium hair loss: Following a high fever, flu, or severe emotional stress, hairs that were in their growth phase can sometimes be suddenly converted into their resting phase.
