A. The most common causes of paediatric alopecia are largely non-scarring. These include tinea capitis, alopecia areata, trauma due to traction alopecia or trichotillomania, and telogen effluvium. Scarring alopecia can also occur in childhood and requires scalp biopsy and further investigation by a dermatologist.Hair loss isn't uncommon in kids, but its causes may be different from those of adult-onset baldness. Often, children lose hair because of a scalp disorder. Many of the causes aren't life-threatening or dangerous. Still, losing hair can take a toll on a child's emotional well-being.
