[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 470374, member: 2211"] This is true. Just keep an eye on that bald spot - if it's growing in without any attention, then it's likely just a clipper accident. However, if you notice other thinning spots, then you may have a problem. When I was a teen, my mom took me to the dermatologist because she thought my hair was falling out (she noticed bald spot on top of my head). The Dr said, very clearly, bluntly in fact, "Your daughter's hair is not falling out, it appears to be pulled out, as it is BROKEN off at the root" - waaaaay embarrassing for me, but apparently worse for my mother, boy did I catch hell. If it's trichotillomania, this would be the typical age it would begin, so keep both eyes wide open. You can check the floor next to his bed to see if there are hairs, check his trash can, his pillow, etc. [/QUOTE]
