Do we inherit alopecia totalis
My father has alopecia totalis.
I am 29 and was suffering for make pattern baldness before I had hair transplant done.
My query is that my father’s condition where he has no hair in his entire body, will myself or my future kids also inherit the same by any chance?

No...You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please meet me in my clinic or do direct personal online consultation by sending photos for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
