Neonatal Occipital Alopecia High Impact Factor Journals

Neonatal occipital alopecia, also known as neonatal hair follicles and friction alopecia, is a pool of alopecia - most common in the occipital area - that occurs in childhood. This form of neonatal alopecia was initially caused by stress or tension since it was lying at a high altitude. However, locally produced telogen effluvium accurately describes this generalization. During fetal growth, hair follicles cover the head with a cephalo-caudal pattern for 18-20 weeks. The roots of the foreskin and papal hair are infested with telogen for approximately 26-28 weeks. The roots of the occipital hair follicles remain anagen until birth. Therefore, localized telogen effluvium in the occipital lining can be enjoyed 8 to 6 weeks later.

Hair loss often presents as a well-established cause of alopecia, which is more common in the occipital area, although parietal involvement is sometimes seen. Alopecia areata is thought to occur when a child's immune system mistakenly attacks her own hair follicles. This condition is relatively rare, affecting about 1 in 1,000 children at any given time.
