Doctor: Hi Dear,Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of  pain in scalp due to hair loss which seems to be due to alopecia areata. Stress is becoming additional factor. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you medications like finpecia at least for 3-4 months and can prescribe anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. You should avoid wearing hat/cap for long time and use almond oil for regular head massage.Hope your concern has been resolved.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
