I’m 15 Years Old and Losing My Crown!

Hi, I’m 15 years old and for a long time now I have noticed a bald spot in my crown and from what people have told me it is getting worse. At the moment I have quite long hair but for some reason the crown is balding. This is making me very self conscious and I’m only 15! .. What should I do??

You should get help from a dermatologist in your area. I’m not sure what you’re seeing (is it actual hair loss or just the way your hair parts at the crown?), but a doctor should be able to tell you once and for all. Your options are limited at 15 years old, as you’re likely still growing. Minoxidil (Rogaine/Regaine) may work for you if you are losing hair, but most teens your age wouldn’t be too keen on applying medication twice daily to their scalp. Again, seek out a doctor for an in-person exam.
