People do lose up to 100 hairs a day, but the bald spots are a little weird.

How is your diet?

You make some proteins in your body, but not all of the ones you need, and thus it's important to get a lot of the amino acids you don't produce naturally. Your hair is made of protein -- but many other bodily processes need protein. If you're not getting enough protein, your body prioritizes; after all, it's more important to keep you alive than to keep your hair growing! It's nice to stay alive AND have a full head of hair, though, so make sure that you get enough protein.

How much protein should you be getting? If you eat meat, at least 2 card decks' worth a day. If you don't, make sure you get all your essential amino acids. The ball park amount is 40-50 grams a day (more if you're a serious athlete).

Biotin might also help. You can find a supplement at pretty much any drugstore.

Since this has happened to you a lot, I suggest that you talk to a dermatologist or a hair loss specialist. He or she might have some good ideas for you, and can discuss hair growth procedures if necessary.

Good luck!

The nurse was right. Most people lose up to 100 hairs a day, but teh bald spots are weird. Most people start to lose more hair as a result of stress and a decrease in dietary intake of calcium or protein. I recommend unflavored knox gelatin mixed in juice or ice tea. The keritin in it helps regrow healthy hair, but don't expect overnight results regardless of what you try. It takes a while for hair to grow in fully.

Also a good hair salon will have a shampoo and conditioner called Nioxin which helps for thinning hair. My husband swears by it.

Are you sure it is a bald spot and not a cowlick?

Malnutrition? What are you washing your hair with and how often. Believe it or not some shampoos are very rough on some hairs. Try Baby Shampoo, it is mild. I also suggest if U do not get the answer from your own medical professionals, research on the Internet. But then again it just maybe a hereditary thing. The mom's determine the baldness in her children. Does she have thinning hair. Does any of her male siblings?
