Recently, I have developed a bald spot on the centre/back of my head. It is about two inches in diameter and surrounding that, there is an area of broken off hair.

My doc is no help at all - "it's just stress", and I don't know of it happening before in women. Does anyone have any knowledge of apopecia (thats it's medical name) ? Does it get better? Or does it continue to get bigger. I wasn't too worried about it until last week when someone commented on it, so now I wear hats, surprisingly, some of them don't look too bad!!

If anyone know anything about this, could you please let me know.

Thanks,

grannyjack.
