A member asked:

What do you suggest if i have alopecia.can it be helped?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alopecia: If you have a regular barber or hair stylist I would start there. If not, or are not satisfied, a dermatologist would be my clinician of choice. You might have to see your own doctor first to get a referral.

Very good afternoon doctors. I have a dermatology question. I am a 63 year-old bald male. My dermatologist suggested (insisted) that I wear a hat when I am in the sun. What type of hat is best? Is a baseball cap good enough or should it be a full hat?
