small bald patch

I have developed a small (dime sized) bald spot.  Anything I can do to have hair growth over this spot and to prevent further loss of hair?

You can try Rogaine.  It is an over the counter topical product for hair loss.  I can’t guarantee that it will re-grow the hair you have lost.  However, it is beneficial in keeping the hair you have and slowing the thinning of your hair.  Also, it is more effective in women than in men.

I occasionally develop a round bald patch which then regrows. I am hypothyroid. Are you?
