13 Year Old Girl Found a Bald Spot After a Haircut
Hi, I am a 13-year old female girl. A few months ago in December 2007, I got a haircut and noticed a bald spot about the size of a dime on top of my head a few days later. I was really worried, and told my parents about it. They said me that it was due to stress in school etc., but I wasn’t completely sure.
It is now February. I’ve noticed a few days ago that there was a small part above my forehead that had very little hair (I have bangs). I have a feeling that I’ve been losing more hair, but I could be overreacting. I think that the previous bald spot had expanded.
My parents have made an appointment with the doctor, I will probably be going to see her in a week or so. Since I was a baby, I’ve had eczema, a skin condition, and I don’t know if it has any links to it. I don’t really remember, but my dad told me that around 5 years ago I’ve had this hair problem. The doctor gave me some medicine to put on my hair, and it seemed to work.
After looking on the internet for information, I’m really worried about any conditions I might have. I’m scared I’ll lose all my hair in the next few months or so. Any info will be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.
The right thing to do would be to see a doctor. There are many causes of bald spots appearing, some of which have been discussed on this site before (ringworm, alopecia areata, etc.). A doctor should give you a diagnosis after an in-person exam. Via the internet and based on just an email, I would just be blindly guessing.
when i was eleven years old, I found a bald spot on my head. it’s still there, I am 38 now. I haven’t lost any more hair. to this day i don’t know where it came from.

hi, im a 31 year old male,
my story sounds very similar to your own, i went for a hair cut, a couple days later there was a bald spot about the size of a dime on the back of my head, and has gotten bigger over the last few months, its now about the size of a silver dollar and perfectly round
you said you received treatment for this condition, would you mind telling me what was prescribed for this condition and how well it worked?
I’ve had bold spots as long as I can remember from around elementary school and I’ve always been embarrassed by it. It mostly occurs on the bottom of the back of my head. A patch grows out and I find that another bold spot has appeared. I told my muma about and we got it checked out they only said it was a fungle sweat thing and gave me anti-fungle cream for the feet clearly that wasnt the case because I’m 17 and I still have the problem I’m looking for answers as well. P.s I can’t put my hair in a ponytail :/ its made me very self conscience.
