No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Alopecia is a common, distressing condition that is sometimes difficult to diagnose and treat.

Losing hair is not usually health threatening; it can scar a young child's vulnerable self-esteem by causing immense psychological and emotional stress, not only to the patient, but also to the concerned parents and siblings; so the cause of hair loss should be diagnosed and treated early to overcome the resulting problems.
