Possible Reasons for Your Child's Thin Hair
Your child's thin hair may be due to various factors. Some prevalent causes in children include fungal or bacterial infections, telogen effluvium (which is hair loss triggered by stress), and traction alopecia. Among these, scalp ringworm is the most frequent culprit, being a fungal infection that can be effectively treated. Most hair loss issues in children can be addressed by medical professionals, and many cases can often see a reversal.
