I have this bald spot that grows then falls out I had a ringworm when I was a child and where the ringworm was that’s where the bald spot is. I’ve tried almost every hair growing product and nothing. Some of them worked and my hair still fell out like a few months after it grew. Now there’s a spot in the back of my head that does the same thing (more like my hair line in the back).I just don’t know what to do anymore my hair has been short ever since the ringworm. I want it to grow. I don’t want anymore weaves or hair extensions so if you can help I’d appreciate it

It May not be ringworm, may possibly be something like alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is the name for a condition in which round patches of hair loss appear suddenly. The hair-growing tissue is attacked by the patient’s own immune cells for unknown reasons.

There are three stages: first, there is sudden hair loss, then the patches of hair loss enlarge, and last, new hair grows back. This process takes months; sometimes more than a year, but rarely does the hair never grow back. There is every chance that your hair will re-grow, but it may also fall out again. No one can predict when it might re-grow or fall out.

The course of the disease varies from person to person. Some people lose just a few patches of hair, then the hair re-grows, and the condition never recurs. Other people continue to lose and re-grow hair for many years. You may need scalp biopsy performed by competent hair replacement doctor.
