Understanding Hair Loss in Children
Hair loss in children can stem from several common factors, including fungal or bacterial infections, telogen effluvium (which is often related to stress), and traction alopecia.

Most situations resulting in hair loss can be addressed by medical professionals, who frequently can reverse the condition.
