Normal Nape Line on Female or AA? (Photo)

October 19, 2016
Asked By:Mellifluos72 in Arkansas, AR

I have had diffuse hair loss for over a year. I had a biopsy that showed FPHL. I lose 200-300 hairs a day so CTE also suggested. I noticed hair looking flat in back. I checked and seems I am losing hair at the nape. My nape line looks odd. How can I get a good diagnosis? Thecarea feels very smooth. Does it look like Alopecia Areata? Can you have FPHL and Alopecia Areata at one time?
