What Causes Bald Spot On The Back Of 13-year-old?
Hi, about a month ago I saw a bald spot on the back of my 13 years old son and the size was about 1/4 inch diameter of a circle and I thought was just a scar. I was in shock today that this was growing bigger and now it is the size of a dime. What should I do to help him to stop this disease? will his hairs ever re-grow?

Hello. I just read through your question.
What you describe is consistent with a common skin condition. You can moisturize the area. Eventually the hair will grow back. At his next regular doctor visit, point it out.
