A member asked:

Is there a correlation between female baldness and high hairline?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Some women with high hairlines will develop thinning along part and front os scalp. Blood tests for degas, iron and thyroid function are part of workup of thinning hair in women. Rogaine (minoxidil) os effective in slowing and regrowing hair in most women.

Dr Villaplana and 2 doctors agreed
