A member asked:
Could infant malnutrition cause permanent scalp hair loss ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its'difficult to say: You are providing a very scant information. What kind of malnutrition and why? Any underlying conditions, bowel surgery? I guess if malnutrition would be corrected, then it shouldn't be a problem. Check with your pediatrician, he/she might know better your child history. Best of luck!
