hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, your child may have alopecia areata.
-- it is an autoimmune condition.
-- I would treat such condition with a course of topical and oral corticosteroids.
-- also, intralesional cortisteoids may help.
you may consult a dermatologist nearby for proper treatment.
wishing you good health.
thank you
