What could cause my hair to stop growing on the right side of my head?

Asked By:DebbieJMC in Agoura Hills, CA

58 year old female in overall good health; however, hair has stopped growing on the right side of my head 2016. Not the temples. Blood work results within normal ranges. Dermatologist suggested it's typical for my age. Don't believe: not 'typical' areas and left side is fine. Various 'regrowth' products: no effect on right side. Healthy diet, 5'5" (weigh 135). I take vitamins including 450 mcg biotin. Suggestions as to the cause, then treatment options?
