small bald spot on scalp

I have noticed a small (thumbe size) of baldness, hair missing on my scalp. I was told it could possibly be ring-worm, but I don't see a "red" ring on the empty little spot. Please let me know what you all think a.s.a.p. THANK YOU!

hello, im 21 and i had noticed i had bald spots on my head when i was 14 when my friend was brading my hair,she told me i had spots with no hair and i had 7 of them at that time. they come and go, i went to a dermatoligist and he had told me it was from stress. so thats when they had me going through a process. they would put shots on the area were there was no hair growing and afterwards it seemed to work bcuz the hair started to grow not long after it started to fall again. just today i was thinking i might shave my head..it will grow back.

Hi I'm just 16 and I have noticed about 3 small bald spots , nothing alarming at all they are very small almost not noticeable but seeing as I am a perfectionist and my hair means everything to me I wanted to make sure it wasn't something serious or that it could get worse. Please reply cuz I'm freaking out !

Hi am am goin to to be 21 next month and i have had bald spots apear and grow back on sevral diff spots of my head since i was 18. I have gone to a few docs and some say it its alepicia or stress and that there isnt really anything i can do, but eat good and take vitamins.. i have also taken a thiroyd test that came back fine..
It is a very hard thing to go through as a young girl, i love my hair and when ever i find one and finally start to fully grow back another one apears somewhere else! Im tired of this and wish there was a miracle that would stop this for all off us. I feel ur pain =[..
