The thing about alopecia areata is that even with NO treatment, the hairs usually grow back in a substantial number of patients, so I really cannot comment on the 3 patients that grew their hair back. I do not know of any vitamin or pre-vitamin treatments for hair loss that works, and I suspect that […]

I think this is the same news that was announced in July. I’m not sure why Physorg.com is just getting to it now, though the article you linked to appears to have a little more info than the previously announced news… and a new video interview with Dr. Christiano. At any rate, the discovery is […]
Snippet from the article written by Dr. Maria Hordinsky, a dermatologist from the University of Minnesota: Read the full text at NY Times — Can Stress Cause Hair Loss? I have seen a few cases of surgical stress induced alopecia areata. One patient that comes to mind had a hair transplant surgery just before the […]
Treatment options are limited for alopecia areata, but a great starting point is the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. I wish I could offer more, but at this time you should see the dermatologist… and if it takes too long for an appointment, ask your doctor for another referral to someone that can get you in […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full story — Genes Tied to Hair Loss Disorder This is a fantastic breakthrough and will hopefully lead to treatments for this disease.

If you are asking whether a hair relaxer will help or make your condition worse, I would guess “no” to both. If you are asking if a hair relaxer will help with your look, that’s a styling question and I would rather leave that up to you. As far as I know, hair relaxer for […]
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease and based upon your history, it sounds like it is active. It has been known to return after disappearing spontaneously or with treatment. Read up about the disease at the National Alopecia Areata Foundation site.
I do not know what you mean by your hormones being up a creek. Which hormones and what creek? I am glad to read that you are growing new hair, which is to be expected for those who have alopecia areata. But it also may fall out again, also to be expected for those who […]
Snippet from the article: Read the full article — Kids Shunned for Hair Loss Get Help From Their Own Stem Cells Keep in mind that this is a treatment for alopecia areata, not male pattern baldness. That being said, even though it was an early study with only 8 kids, it’s something to research further […]
Are you sure you heard him right? What you experienced sounds like confusing signals and you should go back to him to get clarification. To my knowledge, he does not use this dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) treatment for body hair alopecia areata. I provided photos of a patient that I met with who had a great result […]
Alopecia areata will often disappear months after it first appears. There is always a risk of it reappearing at any time, but considering how many years it is since its last appearance, it seems unlikely. Alopecia areata (AA) is often regional so if you are genetically balding (more patterned loss) and the diseased area is […]
It has to be active and the biopsy must be done at the margin between the hairy area and the bald area (just on the edge). If it’s not active you can’t tell. Otherwise, it just looks like scarring alopecia.
From the article: Read the rest (and see the video) — Men, Women Battle Mysterious Hair Loss The article (ABC 7 in Washington DC) does not provide any insight into alopecia areata since so little is known, but it does bring some attention to the topic. The video is also a good chance to see […]
Hair during recovery from alopecia areata may just return to its original texture. Then again, it may not. Diffuse alopecia areata is not fully understood as a disease process. There might be better information (including support forums) at the National Alopecia Areata Foundation site.
