Question by Tessa19: Hair loss in women…bald spots….?
I’m 19 years old and started losing my hair about a year ago. I can’t afford to go see a doctor, and I’m not sure what is causing my hair to fall out. I have a handful of hair fall out in the shower plus more throughout the day. I probably have about 4 or more bald spots(penny to quarter size). I just had a baby 3 months ago, I was balding before that, and it was worse when I was pregnant, but I am still losing hair and finding new bald spots every time I turn around.

What I’m asking is what do you think could be the cause? And if you recomend any kind of shampoo or vitamins or anything to help my hair grow back. I used to have the thickest long hair, I loved it and am very depressed with having to wear my hair in a certain way all the time. I just want my hair back, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou so much.

I’m not on birth control, and I do have eczama and asthma. I smoke, have been smoking since I was 15. Not under any paticular stress…

A hormone imbalance could be causing this but the only way to find out for sure is to see a doctor for further evaluation. Because of your financial situation I would recommend checking with the city health dept to see if they offer a free clinic that might be able to help. If not, check to see if there’s a Medical School close by that might be able to help.

Use thickening cleansing agents. There are many shampoos and conditioners on the market that are geared towards helping an individual thicken her hair. They can be bought at hair salons or some drug stores. Nioxin and Rogaine are among the most popular ones. The key to success with these products is using them regularly.

Question by Ralph B: How do I treat small bald spots caused by cradle cap?
About three years ago, I was 13 and I had cradle cap. I went to the doctors and was given some shampoo stuff and also told to use baby oil to loosen it. It went quite quickly, however recently I have noticed, when i lift up my hair where i had cradle cap, there are very small bald spots and my hair is quite thin on the scalp. Is there anything I can do to treat this?

Cradle Cap
Introduction:
We are constantly making new skin cells at about the rate that we lose old, dry skin cells. The old skin falls off and we usually don’t even notice the process. In many healthy infants, the skin cells on their scalp grow faster than they can fall off, leaving a layer of somewhat crusty, extra skin.
What is it?
Cradle cap is a crusting and scaling rash found on the scalps of many healthy babies. The sebaceous glands in their skin are hyperactivated often because of mom’s hormones that crossed the placenta just before birth. These glands pump out a greasy substance that keeps the old skin cells attached as it dries.

Cradle cap is a specific timing and location of seborrhea.

Who gets it?
Cradle cap can occur in any baby, and most commonly begins sometime in the first 3 months.

It is not common after the first year of life until the teen years when hormone levels rise and exuberant growth returns. Teens often have a similar scalp condition, but for them we call it seborrhea (though I think “cradle cap” when I see it, remembering how far they have come).

What are the symptoms?
Your adorable baby develops patchy scales and redness on the scalp, even though the early baby pictures showed beautiful baby skin. The scales may appear cracked, greasy, or even weeping.

The same rash is often prominent around the ear or the eyebrows. It may appear in other locations as well, where it is called seborrheic dermatitis rather than cradle cap.

Is it contagious?
No

How long does it last?
In most children, cradle cap is gone by 8 to 12 months and often long before that.

How is it diagnosed?
Cradle cap is diagnosed by physical examination. If it has not improved with simple treatment, other diagnoses should be considered and other tests may be necessary.

How is it treated?
Generally, cradle cap does not need to be treated as long as it doesn’t bother you or the baby. Sometimes it itches.

The gentlest treatment is to simply rub a small amount of baby oil or olive oil onto your baby’s scalp. Wait several minutes for the oil to soften and loosen the scales, and brush them away with a soft brush or a dry terry-cloth washcloth.

If the cradle cap is especially pronounced, or if your baby is over six months old, you could also wash the hair with a seborrhea shampoo, such as those containing selenium, salicylic acid, or tar. These shampoos don’t have the “no tears” factor, so be careful or your child may not like bath time as much as they usually do.

If the cradle cap is especially reddened or inflamed, a small amount of over-the-counter cortisone cream may help.

These measures may be needed, off and on, until your baby outgrows the condition. Nevertheless, if the cradle cap does not respond rapidly to these treatments, be sure to inform your pediatrician.

How can it be prevented?
Preventing the rapid scalp growth and active sebaceous glands of cradle cap is not easy (or desirable). Frequent gentle shampooing may prevent the build up of scales.

Question by Yay there’s a Starbucks!: Why does my cat have bald spots over his eyes?
He is not completely bald there, but he had very little bit of fur just in those spots. Othere then that he’s a fur ball!

Is it perhaps a black cat and can you see his (light) skin better in that area? That would be normal.
