Expert Q&A
![]() | ||
| By David L. Fay, M.D. Family Physician Associate Director, Waukesha Family Practice Residency Program | ||
My baby likes to roll on the floor and has rubbed a bald spot on the back of her head. Is this harmful, or should I keep putting her down? Will all her hair grow back?

This is very common, and happens to any area of the body which is rubbed frequently. Her hair will grow back, and she will have no long-term problems with her hair because of this.
