Hi,
I am 15 and I have traction alopecia. I got it because I am of Sikh decent and I recently cut off my tightly tyed hair. I have bald spots in the back of my head, on my forhead, and the front of my sides by my forehead. I am desperate for help as Im just 15 and I want to do things with my hair. Right now I just have long hair to cover things up. Please tell me any medicines like rogaine or something that will help. Thanks
Traction alopecia in many young Sikhs may be permanent, even at your age. If you have not worn the turban for more than a year and no hair has grown back, chances are that only a hair transplant will solve the problem. Many Sikhs have this problem. You may consider seeing a hair restoration doctor (with your mother/father) to consider surgical options.
