I have a patch of hair missing on the back my head, size of a quarter. The spot is not shiny or totally missing hair, there is some hair growing but not alot. Is this still a sign of Alopecia Areata. OTC methods?
Thank you
This is often the way alopecia areata presents, but you could have other causes such a ringworm, as well. Get to see a dermatologist and have it evaluated. There are no over the counter medications to treat what you do not know you really have.
