Sudden Hair Loss
by Leanne131, Oct 30, 2009 05:53PM
Hi,
I'm a 35 year female and have never had any hair problems. I woke up yesterday morning, had a shower and when I looked in the mirror there was a patch of hair (just bigger than a dime) missing along my part line (the hair was there last night and now it's gone!). It is slightly pink and it is accompanied by a burning sensation and it is slightly dented in that area (have no idea if the dent has always been there). My doctor thinks it's a fungal infection and has prescribed 1% Hyderm cream mixed in equal parts nyaderm. I'm don't feel fully confident in this diagnosis as the area is not red or itchy. Is it mostly likely a fungus or does it sound like something else? Just looking for some opinions.
Thanks,
Leanne
