What Can Cause A Bald Spot On A 6-year-old Child S Head?
Hello! I have a 6 year old daughter who is very active year long with dance and swimming. I do her hair every single day and today she had a bald spot about the size of a quarter missing right at the top of her head. I’m worries and nervous. She did NOT have this yesterday. It’s too big to miss. What’s going on? Should i take her in to get checked?
