I have small patches on the head with less dense hair in that region. Kindly help.

Question

Hello doctor,

I have too many small patches on the head. I shaved my head recently, and now, while the hair is growing back, I can see few patches in which hair is comparatively fewer than other areas, although the patches are very small with small-sized pustules. I am currently on Minoxidil 5% for the past two weeks, and I apply aloe vera sometimes.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry. I will help you with your concern. From the history, it seems either you have alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia (AGA). But I need to see your scalp and the patches so I can suggest you definitive diagnosis and treatment accordingly. Kindly revert with the photo.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thank you for sharing the photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity). This is androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Androgenetic alopecia is a chronic progressive condition which occurs due to underlying genetic and hormonal components. Without treatment, hair thinning will continue as it is a progressive condition. I will start you on treatment that will continue for a long term, as treatments take time to provide results so be patient and complaint about the treatment. Take tablet Trichospire one tablet daily after breakfast for three months. Apply Morr F 10% lotion (Minoxidil and Finasteride) 1 ml daily at night on the top and front scalp for three months. Follow up after one month.
