Symptoms
During the first 3-6 months of life, the infant’s hair begins to fall out diffusely.
Causes
Underlying this is a condition known as telogen effluvium: the hairs synchronously enter the resting phase after birth, at the end of which (3-6 months) they fall out.
Diagnosis
Other causes, such as intoxication or circular hair loss, must be ruled out when diagnosed under medical treatment.
Treatment
Since it is a normal physiological process, no treatment is necessary. Within a few months, the hair will grow back.
