female hair thinning

Question

Dear Dr. Khadavi, I am a 41 year old female, who has a size of an inch,(almost) bald spot on the left side of her forehead (hairline). My scalp is very sensitive and sometimes I have little read pimples on that particular spot. I don't see any major hair loss during hair wash. I am a nonsmoker, I don't drink, I am taking my thyroid and iron pills also my B vitamins on a regular basis, I eat healthy and I live healthy. My doctor says I don't have any skin problems, so it could be genetic. Do I have any other options? Pleas help. Thank you. P.s Also in the last couple of months I discovered some eyebrow thinning on the same side (left).

Answer

You may have alopecia areata due to localized hair loss with involvement of the eyebrow. You need to see a dermatologist to diagnose and treat this condition.
