I have been experiencing hair loss on the crown of my head I am a 37 year old female. I saw one dermatologist who barely looked at it and said it is pattern baldness. It itches and burns and has one or more brown spots and a scab. It is not smooth it is like stubble the hair is broken off just above the scalp.

Answer: Thinning Hair -- Rogaine, Propecia, Viviscal, Progesterone, PRP Thinning Hair -- Rogaine, Propecia, Viviscal, Progesterone, PRPIf you have thinning hair you really need an evaluation to see if it is genetic or from another cause like stress or autoimmune. If it is determined to be genetic there are many options and traditional treatments like rogaine foam and propecia pills can be used. I have great success in my practice using injectable progesterone and prp to the scalp. Postmenopausal women also benefit from spironolactone. I suggest seeing a dermatologist with expertise in hair loss. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Female Focal Hair Loss There are generally 2 types of hair loss in women - focal and diffuse. Female pattern baldness can appear focal at first, but then tends to involve a larger diffuse area. However, your pattern seems more focal. Also the symptom of broken hair shafts also leans towards a focal pattern. Focal hair loss conditions which include alopecia areata, fungal infections and others, are sometimes best diagnosed with a biopsy. Generally at least 2 sites for a biopsy are chosen and sent to a dermatopathologist for evaluation. Treatment would depend on the condition, but it is clear you need a more comprehensive evaluation. The brown spot on your scalp looks like a typical macular nevus and this is likely due to sun exposure through your hair, an indication you may have had this condition for a while.

Answer: Hair loss with brown spots The brown spots are a separate issue from your hair loss. One is a hair loss issue and one is a skin issue. They are not directly related except that sun exposure could have helped the brown spot to develop. However, without seeing both "up close" and knowing a bit more about your medical history, it's not possible to give a diagnosis.
