Bald Spot — Should I Wait it Out or See a Dermatologist?
Hi- I’ve recently noticed a bald spot above my right ear, which has little baby hairs still remaining in some parts. The spot is maybe an inch tall and 2 inches wide. I have been through stress the past two months, and have been experiencing variations with my emotions as well, sometimes, even more than usual. Should I go see a dermatologist or wait it out and see if my hair returns? I’m afraid that I will lose more hair and that would be worse than what I have now. I am 26 years old and a female. I recently moved to the northwest from the midwest and am beginning graduate school. I tried a new shampoo earlier this week and it could be a combination of things. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks,
Hair loss from above the ear may reflect a genetic problem. There are some types of hair loss that run in families and are found above the ear. Other conditions must also be considered such as Alopecia Areata. See a good dermatologist and rest your concerns.
