few bald spots
Hi Dr Khadavi. I'm 22 years old and have a thick head of hair. But had moderate case of acne on my face and on my scalp for about a year or two. Sometimes the pimples will be on the back of my head, or side, or on top and the pimples are not in one specific area. Alot of times, i would squeeze it and pus will come out but sometimes the pimple is too large to squeeze and it hurts to much and i leave it. But i started notice a couple bald spot about 1/4 a dime in size on the top and side of my head. Was this cause, because i spueezed my pimples? Will my hair ever grow back? If not, what kind of treating should i seek to correct this problem? Also, I started treatment on my acne.
Dear Kenny,
From your description, it appears that you are having alopecia areata. These spots should grow back over the next few months. However, I would have you see a dermatologist to officially diagnose your condition and initiate treatment with some steroid injections.
