A member asked:

Bald spot caused by hashimotos it's been 5 years since, thyroid levels are normal, but i feel like the patch might be spreading. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alopecia: It may not be the hashimotos per se. Autoimmune thyroid disease is associated with other autoimmune diseases, and the skin/scalp can be affected. Stress can certainly do this too. Suggest seeing a dermatologist.
