Bald spots on the back of the head can be caused by conditions like cephalgia alopecia, lipedematous scalp, or trichostasis spinulosa.
Bald spots on the back of the head can be due to several conditions, including alopecia areata. Cephalgia alopecia is another condition where headaches are linked to hair loss, possibly because of the way pain affects the scalp. Lipedematous scalp is another condition that can cause bald spots. It involves the thickening of the scalp, which can lead to hair loss. Lastly, trichostasis spinulosa is a condition where hair follicles get clogged, leading to the appearance of bald patches.
If you notice bald spots, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
