Losing my hair at fifteen.

Question
Hello,I'm a fifteen year old girl and over the last three years have experienced a lot of thinning in my hair which has been attributed to my anemia but a little less then a year ago,I noticed a bald spot at the back of my head, a circular bald spot.



It stayed there,the same size,for some time and when I did online research,I was under the impression it would go away naturally but instead its gotten bigger and bigger.

I can't wear my hair up anymore and my hair is so very thin.



what should I do? I'm scared about loosing all my hair? Is there a cure?



please help me.

thanks.


Answer
Hello Pearl: Anemia is a common cause of hair loss. Hopefully you are getting good treatment and you have been able to improve the condition over the years.

A smooth circular bald spot could be an indication of alopecia areata. There are other possible causes for bald spots such as bacterial or fungal scalp infection but the most common cause of bald spots is alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a fairly common autoimmune condition. The bald patches do sometimes fill in on their own with this condition, but not always. The precarious nature of this disorder makes it very unpredictable.

I also had this condition as a child. I used essential oils very successfully for my own condition. Clinical studies have revealed essential oils to be very effective for alopecia areata. I will include some links from my website which may help you learn more about hair loss and using essential oils and other natural cures. Please let me know if I can help your further.
