Is My Alopecia Areata Returning?
I’m a 17 year old kid who had alopecia areata starting at 15 years old. I shaved my head (all the way to the skin, shaving cream and all) and did this for 2 years. Recently i stopped and my hair has grown again (YAY!) Its back to normal but for the past month, my hair has started falling again. Can alopecia areata come back again? Or is it another problem? and if please what will be a solution for it!
Thank you very much!
There is no cure for alopecia areata, and as such, it can regress and then come right back. If it comes back again, another such experience it is not predicable. Alopecia areata is a lifelong condition. Please the see National Alopecia Areata Foundation site for much, much more information on this condition.
I used to get it when I was younger. First in kindergarten, then a few times in elementary, middle and high school. I haven’t had a case for a few years since I was a sophomore. It can come back at any point is what I was always told. Rogan and Olux Foam worked well with me, though at times I had to go on steroids for a month. The steroids always did the trick if I had a spot that was being stubborn. Hope this helps as a quick run down.
