You Have Small Round Bald Spots on Your Head
Baldness in round patches is atypical and is usually caused by alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system attacks hair follicles. Alopecia areata occurs in about 3% of individuals and affects men and women equally. In some cases, alopecia is linked to thyroid disorders such as hypothyroid and Hashimoto’s disease.
In most people regrowth is possible, as the hair follicles are not permanently damaged. In some people the hair will regrow on its own, for others treatment with steroids can encourage regrowth. If the cause of your hair loss is due to a thyroid problem, in most cases, treatment of the thyroid disorder will initiate regrowth.
