My little nine year old cousin has a bald spot on the top of her head near the back right side. She has never had this before but a couple of weeks ago she lost her father and I think it might be from stress. Is this possible or is she to young to be stressing? The bald spot is as big as a dime. Is it normal cause she is still little?
I cannot say what your cousin has or why she is losing hair. She needs to be examined by a doctor. Patchy hair loss can be from other medical conditions and in her age group, ringworm would be at the top of that list.
