6. I found a small round bald patch on my head. What should I do?

Your body has produced an alopecia areata patch. In many cases, this round patch will grow hair again by itself, but it is better not to rely on it. Buy yourself a good organic aloe vera gel and apply it regularly in the morning and in the evening to the bald patch. Apply it gently and don’t rub. You will have to do this for at least six to eight weeks. Very rarely, your scalp starts itching with aloe vera on it in that case discontinue immediately. (see also Question 11 and Toxicity).
