Ectodermal Dysplasia
Ectodermal dysplasia brings together a group of rare inherited disorders that affect the development of structures derived from an embryonic layer, such as the skin, hair, nails, teeth and sweat glands.
Characteristic signs: sparse or fragile hair, absent or abnormally shaped teeth, altered nails and, in some types, difficulty sweating and regulating body temperature.
Common causes: it is due to genetic alterations that can be passed down in the family and are present from birth.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician guides detection and coordinates follow-up with specialists in skin and dental health. If a child shows very sparse hair, the absence of several teeth or trouble sweating, it is advisable to seek care for a comprehensive approach.
