What Causes Lumps Of Hair Missing In Head?

i have recently changed pill to microgynon 30. I have noticed that I have two lumps of hair missing in my head the size of 3cm length and width being the largest. I also suffer with stress and anxiety. What could be the reason for this? It is not something serious is it?

Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of lumps of hair missing in the head which could be due to fungal infection, stress, hormonal fluctuations, improper hygiene and due to nutritional deficiency.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you make sure about complete nourishment of scalp and maintain proper hygiene of your scalp. Consult a dermatologist for proper examination and go for required testing done and then start treatment. The doctor may also prescribe supplements containing biotin, Acetylcysteine, copper as active ingredients. You can use finasteride preparations as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
