Reasons & Cure

The common reason of children suffering with hair loss do so because of the following cases. All of these cases have to be easily diagnosed by your doctor or by a pediatric dermatologist. 1. Tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp) is a problem caused by a superficial fungal infection of the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The illness  is considered to be a type of superficial mycosis or dermatophytosis. A lot of  other names are used to explain  this infection, including ringworm of the scalp and tinea tonsurans. In the US and other parts of the world, the incidence of tinea capitis is rising. Children who has tinea capitis generally have patchy hair fall  with some broken-off hairs clear just above the skin of the scalp. The parts of hair loss are generally round shaped  or oval, but sometimes not regular. Diagnosis: The cure is suspected primarily connected with  the appearance of the scalp. A Wood's lamp test can be performed to explain the presence of a fungal scalp infection. Wood's lamp is a test that is performed in a dark room where ultraviolet light is shined on the area of interest. No need  biopsy. Remedy: Tinea capitis is generally treated with an antifungal treatments. Tinea capitis is also treated with Argan Rain shampoo, which is useful  to wash the scalp 2-3 times per week. It is very leading  to continue the use of the oral medication and shampoo for about 8 weeks. Children who have tinea capitis problem are not need to leave school if cure is used as instructions. 2. Alopecia Areata happens in a short time as appearance of round or oval patches of hair fall. These patches are completely slick bald or smooth without any types of inflammation, scaling, or falling hairs. With a clear remedy, a large part of patients will have all of their hair back within one year -- many will have it in a short time. Children who have  alopecia areata should be under the care of a doctors. Nearly 5% of children with alopecia areata will continue  to develop alopecia totalis-- the falling of all the hair on the scalp. 3. Trauma to the hair shape  is another general  cause of hair loss in children. Often the trauma can be reason  by traction  or by friction  It can also be reason by chemicals burns. Another misunderstood case of trauma hair loss is named  trichotillomania. This  is thought to be an obsessive-compulsive problem  that can be extremely hard to treat since the patient generally  feels compelled to pluck their hair. The hair fall is patchy, and characterized by broken hairs. Within the patches, hair fall is not finished. As long as the hair trauma was not a lot or chronic enough to cause scarring, the hair will regrow when the trauma is finished. 4. Telogen effluvium is another general reason  of hair loss in children. To know telogen effluvium, one must understand a hair's usual life cycle. An individual hair follicle has a long growth duration, producing steadily growing hair for 1.5 to 6 years (totally 3 years). This in turn is followed by a resting time (about 3 months) when the hair follicle lies dormant. This last tme is named the telogen phase. A lot of  different events can cause telogen effluvium, also, extremely high fevers, surgery under general anesthesia, excess vitamin A, so many  prolonged emotional stress such as a death of a relation, severe injuries and the use of certain prescription pills for instance  accutane for acne. Diagnosis: There are no clear diagnostic tests to  diagnose telogen effluvium. A deep medical history is taken, but it generally comes down to the experience of the physician to do the diagnosis. Treatment: In children, once the stressful case is over, full hair growth generally happens  nearly six months and one year.
