Suddenly discovering a bald spot on your scalp can be distressing. Sometimes we imagine the worst. Slowly progressing bald spots can also cause concern. A variety of hormonal and medical conditions can cause both permanent and temporary hair loss. Before you go rushing to the chemist to try the first product you see for hair loss, the first and most important step is to get a correct diagnosis for your bald spot(s) from a hair loss expert.

A private consultation with a hair loss expert will give you a correct diagnosis for what’s causing the bald spots and whether you have permanent solution like a hair transplant or temporary hair loss. You will then have the information you need for the right solution. If you suffer from hair loss, answer these 3 questions to discover the best treatment option for you.
What Causes Bald Spots?
- Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss when the body’s immune system wrongly attacks hair follicles.
- Trichotillomania is a hair-pulling condition that results in bald patches.
- Ringworm is a scalp infection that causes round areas of hair loss.
- Stress can lead to loss of hair in clumps.
- Certain hairstyles and treatments that cause damage to the follicles or pull the hair tight can cause bald spots. Scarring can cause the loss to be permanent.
Hair loss, thinning hair and a receding hairline can be caused by factors such as hereditary, age, significant weight loss, certain medications, radiation therapy, certain medical conditions and hormonal changes during menopause or pregnancy.
