How Can Scalp Balding Patches With Hair Loss Be Treated?
I'm male and 19 years old. I have 2 bald patches at either side of my hairline. Its not receded at all, and I've had the patches since I was very young, hiding them with long hair. I looked around and the closest hairloss conditions I could find that match mine were Alopecia Areata and Triangular Alopecia. Is there any way of correcting this, or is surgery the only option? also will this correct itself? I've had this since I was probably 13-14 I think.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is most likely that you have a deep hairline pattern on the sides of your hairline. Secondly, it could be hereditary too. Alopecia areata can be reduced by some hair treatments like PRP (platelet rejuvenating plasma) treatments where the plasma from your own blood is injected into your scalp or the bald areas, once every 4 to 5 weeks for a minimum of 8 to 10 times. Along with the above, you could also start using topical Minoxidil 5% to 10% every night for a minimum of one year to see optimum results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
