Suggest Treatment For A Bald Spot On The Head
I am 22 years old and I just gotten a haircut, when I was told I have a bald spot about the size of a quarter on the back of my scalp that was never there before. I had hit my head early that day and there is a bump from it. The bald spot is slightly overlapping the lump. I know it s not a ringworm, is it Alopecia areata? How do I know? What are my options? Will it grow back? I just kinda want to know if it s nothing to worry about I ll just wait for it to grow back but it is the first sign or more bald spots then I want to treat it ASAP. Thx

Hello,
I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be alopecia areata. You can start applying topical steroid like mometasone lotion on the affected area twice daily and if you feel the size is increasing consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
