Baldness in Children Due to Cancer Chemotherapy
Being diagnosed with cancer is a shocking news, and it is especially traumatic for sick children and their parents. Hair loss is often an inevitable consequence of such cancer treatments as chemotherapy and radiation, which affected kids have to undertake. While temporary baldness may not be a big issue for minor children, cancer-stricken teenagers can suffer deep emotional trauma related to both their disease and altered self-image. Finding a way to help the child cope with the pain of hair loss thus becomes a very serious concern for parents, caregivers, and doctors.
