How To Get Rid Of Dark Black Hair On The Forehead Of An Infant?
My daughter is 8 months old. She has fine dark black hair on her forehead which looks odd. She was not born with hair but they grew when she was one month old and are as it is till date. I do not want to try traditional method of hair removing by using gram floor and olive oil. Please suggest me something.

Hi...dark hair on the forehead of the infant abnormally is a peripheral marker of hypothyroidism. If the kid also has constipation, the possibility increases. I suggest you get her thyroid status checked and then proceed further. If it is hypothyroidism as I suggested, treating it will take off that hair. Otherwise if it is not then you need not worry, as this could be physiological and it will reduce by itself as she grows up.
