Less Hair In The Middle Of Forehead, Itchy Scalp. Prescribed Cortisone. Am I Going Bald?
I have plenty of hair although in the middle of my forehead I have noticed that I have less hair. If I part my hair down the middle I look bald in that area. My scalp is currently very itchy and red and I was prescribed cortisone . Am I going bald or will this go away? Also my hairs texture has changed and become brittle, keep in mind I do have curly hair which is hard to manage as it is.
