Question
Why does a child have patches of hair where there is hair and patches where there isn’t? Initially, their hair was yellow, but after two haircuts, the hair that grew out was much darker, but there are two patches that are bald, and they are almost invisible if not closely looked at. I think the nutrition given to the child is okay, and calcium has been supplemented, but I don’t know why these two patches of hair are not growing well. Is this a disease, and is the situation serious?
Answer
Actually, there’s no need to worry too much because children are still young and their natural hair growth ability is not strong. During naps and breastfeeding, children may have a habitual posture, which over time can make the hair sparse. Take a close look at the areas with poor growth; the hair roots are still there. As the range of food expands and calcium supplements are added, hair growth will become vigorous. To ensure better hair growth for the child, first of all, make sure the child takes in a balanced diet, which is crucial for hair growth. Ensure that the child consumes enough meat, fish, eggs, fruits, and various vegetables to ensure that abundant nutrition is supplied through the blood circulation to the hair roots, promoting hair growth.
