Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss After Metopic Craniosynostosis Surgery In A Child
Question: HELLO DR I WANT TO KNOW IF ITS NORMAL AFTER A SURGERY OF METOPIC CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS BOY 10 MONTHS OLD LOSS HAIR HOLE ON THE NAPE ONE OF EACH SIDE
Brief Answer:
Possible site of surgery, or fungal infection or side effect of a treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully, saw your photos and reports and I understand your report.
It is not normal.
Maybe he lost it because it is related to the point where the tubes of the surgery were inserted in order to perform surgery.
Or maybe He lost it after, because of a medication they have given to him.
It can be also a fungal infection, but the skin under it should be scaly and tender, which I am not able to see well.
From the reports I don't see nothing relevant.
His doctors know him better and I don't have all the medical records nor can I examine him in order to understand correctly what is the problem.
Those above are my thoughts.
Let me know any more information that may be relevant.
I hope this is a bit of help.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
