Question: has anyone ever heard of a skin condition called aplasia cutis congenita? my son was born with a bald spot in the middle ofhis head and the doctors said thats what it is and they recommended plastic surgery but hes 3 and im afraid something bads going to happen? any advice?
Answer: Go for the surgery. Skin is a primary protection of the body. If bugs can penetrate it big problem. The secondary protection system comes to play (the immune system). Some of the bugs are can cause serious problem because they are not even supposed to end up in an area they are not supposed to. As with the head, it is more dangerous. I suggest that you go ahead with the plastic surgery. Decision is still yours. I am not coercing you in any way but advising.
