Asked By:Beth7603 in Mckees Rocks, PA

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.
