Child hair growth problem
Hi, my daughter's hair are not growing much. She is 16 months old now. Can you guide if there is anything to worry about it is common. Can you provide some nutritional supplement if this is a nutritional issue. I am attaching pictures. No one is bald in our family, there is no hereditary problem as such

Hello,
You don't need to worry. There are medications and scalp treatment available which can help her to grow hair but then I need to know about other details like her diet, any medication, any supplements prescribed by pediatrician, any other scalp condition etc
