It may appear over the cause of either several days or weeks and go unnoticed until discovery. There is no hair on the patch, and it is -just- off the parting near the crown. It is unnoticable unless looked for, but when found, appears as if a small 5 pence piece size hole has been completely shaved off.

It may appear over the cause of either several days or weeks and go unnoticed until discovery. There is no hair on the patch, and it is -just- off the parting near the crown. It is unnoticable unless looked for (the head is thick with long otherwise healthy hair), but when found, appears as if a small 5 pence piece size hole has been completely shaved off.

Hey,
There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.
Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.
In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.
A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org

you may want to look close to see if there has been some sort of bug bit in this area, that will only affect the area you are speaking of. If there has been a change in medication, or if the person in question has had a life altering change it could also be nervous condition.

I think it could be a lot of things, but something like ringworm or some type of fungus comes to mind first. Your regular doctor or a dermatologist should definitely take a look. You may need a topical or oral medication, but a good diagnosis is important.

My brother bumped his head at work and the hair follicles died in the area of the bump.... it was in a very small area and it didn't get any bigger. It could also be a headboard scar! Tee hee!
