Alopecia: Many children experience loss of hair in specific areas of scalp, called Alopecia at times of their body growth. It is a benign condition and may be related to hormonal changes in the body. A consultation with your son's doctor will be appropriate to rule out other possibilties like infection which may require specific treatment.
