Hi moms ❤️

I’m looking to see if anyone has had a child with a similar experience.

My daughter was born with very little hair. Most of it fell out during her first 3 months, and now she is 15 months old and still has extremely sparse hair — I would estimate around 90 hairs on her entire scalp.

We have seen a dermatologist, and according to the doctor, the hair follicles are present and visible. The scalp doesn’t appear scarred, and there seems to be potential for hair growth, but very little hair is actually growing.

Her eyelashes and eyebrows are also very sparse. They are present, but there are only a few of them.

She has a history of eczema and cow’s milk protein allergy. We have also done blood tests, including thyroid function and vitamin levels, and everything came back normal.

One dermatologist suggested a possible explanation: that there may have been pressure on her neck while I was pregnant, causing reduced blood flow to the scalp, and then a sudden increase in blood flow after she was delivered by C-section. However, no other doctor has agreed with or mentioned this theory, so I’m not sure whether it makes medical sense.

Has anyone had a child with very delayed hair growth like this? Especially if they also had eczema, allergies, or sparse eyelashes and eyebrows?

Did the hair eventually start growing later on? I would really appreciate hearing any similar experiences. ❤️

Thank you so much
