A member asked:
My boyfriend has this small bald area in the middle if his head, he is 22 i fear it is alopecia, for now it isn't much visible but we are very scared, what to do? will it progress even more?

It could be the initial phase of alopecia areata or totalis. However, he should see a dermatologist for ruling out fungal disease as the cause of hair loss. The treatment for each condition is different. He's probably to young for male baldness especially if his dad does not have this condition.
