Question
My child is 4 years old, but the hair on the top of their head and forehead is very sparse, with only a few strands. I have taken the child to see a doctor, and some said it might be alopecia, while others suggested it could be due to a lack of calcium. I would like to ask why the hair is not growing and what kind of help is needed.
Answer
Based on the description of the child’s condition, the sparse hair on the front of the child’s head may be due to a lack of calcium. It is advised to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment immediately, and to check the child’s blood trace element levels to determine if there is a deficiency of calcium. If diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, supplementation should be done promptly, and close attention should be paid to the child’s condition changes.
