Why Choose a Pediatric Trichologist?

Why Choose Dr. Prratyush More as Pediatric Trichologist?

Specialized Diagnosis

We don't guess. We distinguish between fungal infections, stress-related shedding, and immune conditions.

Minimal Medication

We prioritize the safest, mildest treatments suitable for delicate pediatric skin and systems.

Emotional Support

We understand the social pressure on school-going children and provide counseling to help them cope during treatment.

Alopecia Areata (Patchy Hair Loss)

Sudden round bald patches can be scary. This is often an autoimmune condition. We use safe, topical immunomodulators and gentle therapies to stimulate regrowth without harsh steroids whenever possible.

Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm)

The most common cause of hair loss in children. It looks like scaly patches or broken hair. We provide precise antifungal treatment to cure the infection and prevent it from spreading to siblings.

Telogen Effluvium (Acute Shedding)

Hair loss following a high fever (like Dengue/Flu) or nutritional deficiency. We focus on Dietary Counseling and nutritional supplements to restore hair volume.

Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)

A sensitive condition where children pull out their own hair. Dr. More approaches this with extreme empathy, working with parents to manage the behavior and repair the scalp.

Painless & Fear-Free Assessments

Our Gentle Diagnostic Approach

We know children hate needles and doctors’ offices. That’s why our approach is different:

Clinical Assessment: Dr. More uses a handheld Dermatoscope (a special magnifying light) to examine the scalp. It is completely painless and non-invasive.

Nutritional Review: We analyze your child’s diet to check for Iron, Vitamin D, or B12 deficiencies that might be causing weak hair.

Friendly Environment: Our clinic in Vasant Vihar is designed to be welcoming, minimizing anxiety for both parent and child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions from Parents

Will my child's hair grow back?

In the vast majority of pediatric cases (like Tinea Capitis or Telogen Effluvium), hair growth is fully reversible with the right treatment.

Are the treatments safe for infants?

Absolutely. Dr. Prratyush More strictly follows pediatric safety guidelines. We avoid harsh oral medications for infants unless absolutely necessary.

Is hair loss in children contagious?

Only if it is fungal (Ringworm). If diagnosed, we will guide you on how to wash linens and combs to protect the rest of the family.
