During seasonal changes, which is known as the shedding season, a lot of hair is shed and then grows back.

However, in some areas, the skin may peel off completely, exposing the skin. If inflammation occurs in that area, it could indicate an illness.

Of all the possible diseases, dermatitis is the most likely!

However, there's one thing I want to emphasize: please don't make your own judgment and buy skin medication from the pharmacy to apply.

Because skin diseases are a general term, they can be further subdivided into many different types, each with its own prescription medications.

Circular hair loss → dermatophyte infection

In addition to dermatitis, internal organ diseases, vitamin B deficiency, and psychogenic stress can also be causes of hair loss. Therefore, the most important thing is to take your child to the vet as soon as possible, even in the early stages of the condition!
