Normal Nape Line on Female or AA? (Photo)

Mellifluos72Oct 19, 2016

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?

The generic should be the same formula as the name brand due to FDA controls. If you're not satisfied with your results, I recommend getting a formal consultation with a hair loss expert. PRP and progesterone injections and/or hair transplant are great alternatives. Best, Dr. Emer
