Bald spot recently appeared

Posted By Chergreene (Houston, Tx Usa) on 12/26/2012

About one month ago I noticed my hair was thinner and was falling out. I have always had very thick hair, so the change was noticable. Last week I noticed a bald spot on top of my head which is even much larger today. My first thought was due to medications.. Some I take are listed to cause this.. But apparently this usually only happens shortly after starting certain meds. I have been taking the same ones for a number of years with no hair loss. Until now. I am under emotional stress(lost my job, no income).. But a large baldspot???I don't seem to have any physical symptoms related to Lupus or thyroid issues. Common sense tells me this is not old age baldness because the onset was so sudden. I would like to try the apple cider vinegar remedy. How long should I wait to notice regrowth after starting applications? I am also thinking about pre-natal vitamins.. I remember a nurse telling me they were good for hair growth even if not pregnant. Any advise or feedback? I am a 59 year old female. Thanks!

Sounds like alopecia. Take Milk Kefir and apply on the bald spot. Hair will regrow soon. Good Health

Chergreene, a family member got a sudden bald spot after a fire in their home. The dermo said: look at my baldness, my hair has died, but YOUR hair has gone on strike and will grow back. And many months later, it did.
