I'm an 18-year-old girl and I've noticed my hair is getting really thin on the crown of my head and I'm not sure why it's happening. It's really worrying me. Could my past stress and skin allergies have something to do with it since I even had scalp allergies? Or is there another reason for this hair thinning? Looking for some advice.

Hair thinning at the crown area can be due to various reasons, including stress, skin allergies, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. In your case, since you have mentioned a history of skin allergy and scalp allergy, it is possible that these conditions have contributed to your hair thinning. To address this issue, I recommend using Minoxidil solution 2% twice daily on the affected area of the scalp. Additionally, taking Biotin tablets 10,000 mcg once daily can help improve hair growth and thickness. It is also important to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques or counseling. If the hair thinning persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
