| Popis: | Hairstyles and practices that frequently apply tension to the hair follicle can result in traction alopecia (TA). Many of the hairstyles and hair practices associated with a higher risk of TA begin at a young age, making early intervention and education advantageous in the pediatric population. Recognizing TA at its reversible stage in the pediatric population is critical as early interventions, and counseling will prevent permanent scarring alopecia. While TA can affect any pediatric patient, this review highlights the reported literature on specific populations with a higher reported prevalence of TA. |
