A member asked:

My son is 17 years of age and he started to get bald spots. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation: bald spots are not usually normal. They should be evaluated by the pediatrician or a dermatologist to determine if they are from underlying infection, hair pulling (trichotillomania), autoimmune, or other causes. See your pediatrician for an initial evaluation and referral/treatment as indicated.
