So you diagnosed yourself with alopecia areata and then decided to ask me if anabolic steroids would help regrow your facial hair? First of all, you should get a physician’s diagnosis to see if perhaps it isn’t alopecia areata. Maybe you have an allergy or stress (both of which can also cause spots like that). […]

I am not your doctor, nor your son’s doctor, and I am not an expert in vitamin D deficiency, so I couldn’t give you a personalized answer. If you’re concerned about one doctor’s recommendation, consider getting a second opinion. I do know that alopecia areata is a self limiting condition that will resolve without any […]
I understand that you have a sick daughter who needs medical attention, but I am a hair transplant surgeon. Alopecia areata is not likely related to your daughter’s overall problem, which sounds serious. Vomiting is related to possible treatments that she might’ve been given for the alopecia areata, but I have no idea if she […]

In my humble opinion, alopecia areata is an auto-immune issue where your body attacks its own hair follicles (to put it simply) and it has been occasionally linked to stress as a precipitating factor. It may have been a triggering factor. Hair loss from alopecia areata often will grow back with time (with or without […]

Nice find and thanks for sending. I don’t recall seeing too much about using garlic as an alopecia areata treatment. This was a small study of 34 people presented last year at a conference in Australia. It does sound interesting, and I found another small alopecia areata study discussing the use of topical garlic gel […]
Second opinions are impossible to do over the internet through this blog. In general, I would want to know the following: Could you have had alopecia areata when you had your transplant? Did you lose transplanted hair in the areas of alopecia areata? Any time a person has recipient sites in the scalp, small cutaneous […]
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease, potentially affecting all of your hair follicles. It could attack any transplanted hair that is placed into the balding area and those hairs will die. So unfortunately, transplantation isn’t a wise option for you. For more on alopecia areata, see the National Alopecia Areata Foundation.
