Hi I have noticed that I got bald patches on my beared and scalp. I have shown to doctor . Doctor told me to do blood test for Fasting Glucose, TSH and Serum anti TPO. So I have done this test. I got blood report is (Fasting Glucose: 93, TSH : 6.039 and TPO: >1300). After that I didn't get time to consult with doctor. I just checked in Internet that it's may caused a Thyroid. Please tell me what is meant of this report? And suppose I have Thyroid so what should I do and from which doctor I need contact regarding this ?

You may be having alopecia areata. this is an autoimmune condition due to the attack of lymphocytes against hair roots. It results in the formation of bald patches on the scalp. It can affect any hairy area of the body also like eyebrows and beard. It has to be treated properly for long duration until the immunity comes down. Once the immunity is controlled, hair grows back over the patches. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for accurate diagnosis and treatment. ,
