    TLDR Infant hair loss is usually temporary and grows back without treatment.
    The document, written by Ronald V. Marino in 1995, discussed different types of alopecia in infants. Telogen effluvium, a common type of hair thinning or loss during the first months of life, was mentioned. This condition is transient and the hair usually grows back in the following months, hence, reassurance and nonintervention are recommended. The document also discussed traumatic alopecia, which occurs due to traction, pressure, friction, or physical trauma. Examples of this include infants who spend a lot of time on their backs experiencing occipital hair loss, and hair styles that use tight braids or barrettes potentially inducing traction alopecia.

      community Here's why you don't assume you have TE, because you likely don't

      TE (telogen effluvium) is often misunderstood and is triggered by severe stress or trauma, not minor daily inconveniences. Most hair loss cases are due to male pattern baldness (AGA), and treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride can help.

      The conversation is about someone who has been taking finasteride for hair loss without success, considering switching to dutasteride or giving up treatment. Suggestions include trying dutasteride, microneedling, infrared therapy, multivitamins, and high-concentration topical solutions combining finasteride and dutasteride.
