Some parents have noticed that their babies have bald sideburns and are particularly concerned that it may cause damage to their scalp and hair growth in the future, and they do not know how to solve it. Parents can first check the cause to see if there are any signs of bacterial infection or scales. What about the baby with bald hair and sideburns?
What should I do if my baby has bald hair and sideburns
1. Identify the cause of the baby's hair loss.
Check the area of hair loss on the child's scalp. If the area is pink or gray with scales, it indicates tinea. If not, the child may have alopecia areata. If this is the case, going to see a doctor is the best choice, do not be careless.
2. Pay attention to the sleeping position of the baby.
Another common reason for hair loss is that the baby's back pillow hair is damaged due to friction and long-term non turning during sleep. In this case, a softer pillow can be replaced or a conscious effort can be made to protect the back pillow from long-term compression. But generally speaking, this type of hair loss is temporary and will not affect normal growth in the future.
3. Supplement nutrition for the baby.
The growth of hair requires various nutrients. When babies are young, the food they eat is very limited, and the nutrition may be unbalanced. It is necessary to gradually supplement with the baby's growth to avoid causing nutritional deficiencies or overnutrition. Moreover, sufficient nutrition for babies is not only a problem with their hair, but also of great significance for their healthy growth.
What's wrong with the baby's bald hair and sideburns
1. The baby's head frequently rubs against the pillow. Babies spend most of their time in bed, and the areas where their heads and pillows come into long-term contact are prone to sweating. When a baby sweats on the pillow, they will feel itching on the head. The baby cannot scratch with their hands or tell their mother that their head is itchy, so they have to resort to rubbing their head back and forth to reduce the itching sensation.
2. The baby's pillow is too hard. A pillow that is too hard can also cause a baby to have baldness, and a pillow that is too hard can affect the normal growth of the baby's hair. Generally, babies prefer to sleep on one side, and the hair on that side will become sparse, resulting in unilateral occipital baldness.
3. Physiological reasons. Insufficient nutritional intake by mothers during pregnancy can lead to baby's baldness. Lack of calcium in babies can also cause them to suffer from occipital baldness.
If a baby experiences hair loss and sideburns, it may be due to the baby frequently scratching their head or frequent friction from surrounding objects. These situations generally do not cause significant harm as long as they are properly restored and corrected in a timely manner. But if it persists for a long time and causes skin damage and other problems, then timely care is necessary.
