    Blad spots the size of quarter on head

    Question: 

    1. Could it be from stress?

    2. Could Opdivo cause bald stops on your head? ,

    I have noticed a few perfect round bald spots where the hair is just gone.

    I have an appointment with my Family Dr. next week and I am for sure to ask him.

    Just courious if anyone else has had this issue.

    Thanks All.

      My husband developed several bald spots when he was going through Yervoy treatments.  We believe it was alopecia which is an autoimmune response.  It took quite a while but hIs hair eventually regrew but is thinner in those areas.
