Question: I have had a patch of hair loss for 11 years, what can I do?
Name: Mark Chadwick
Question: Hello, my dad died when I was 12, after which I lost a small amount of hair on the top of my head. I’m not 23 and it’s still the same - no better or worse - but people are getting on my nerves with noticing it. What should I do? I take vitamins and have thickening shampoo and it has helped but what else can i do?
Answer: It sounds like there is a possibility this could be Alopecia Areata but you would need an examination for a definitive diagnosis. This can either be done by visiting Belgravia for a consultation or alternatively completing our on-line diagnostic form. Minoxidil 12.5% + Azelaic Acid is the medication that is usually used for Alopecia Areata and small patches of hair loss will usually grow back. If it is Alopecia Areata that you are experiencing, the fact that you have had this patch for so long could affect the kind of results Minoxidil 12.5% + AA brings but it would definitely be worth a try.
