Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss
Hi, I'm a 25 year old male. I pull my hair when i'm stressed and I've started having very small areas of near baldness behind my ears (hair is less dense and thinner). If I stopped now will the hairs grow back or have I lost my hair forever in those patches?

Hi,
You seem to have pschological problem like trichotillomania...in which patient has strong desire to pull out the hairs and this occurs in strongly stressed persons. You consult dermatologist for the firm diagnosis.
I would suggest...
- Anxiolytic like fluoxetine 10 mg daily
- mild steroid lotion
- psychotherapy
I hope you got my answer.
