Child Losing Hair Gradually, Had Patch On Head. Suggest Medication
Hello, My daughter is losing her hair gradually. When she was in 3 years old, small patch came on her head. We consulted doctor and she advised some medicine. Gradually patch has been increased and it become very large and she also lost eyebrows at some point of time. After continuously using medicine advised by doctor it’s been controlled and again she got her hair back. But after some days and same thing is repeated again. Please advise what to do. Thanks Chakravarthy
