Any new treatments?
Hey guys,
I'm 19 years old, I've had Alopecia my whole life and i have been bald for a lil over 2 years. I never wear wigs or cover myself... I don't know, its a personal choice. I don't think i should hide who i am. But anyways, now i want to try treatments again. I have not done anything since i lost it, so i would like to know...
How are you getting treated??? I'm totally bald so i cant get the injections, nor do they even work for me anymore. but has anyone tried laser light treatments and medications?
if so please let me know.
thanks :)

I don't really think there's much we can do once we've lost hair to the point that we're bald! A lot of people have successful treatments for alopecia areata, but once it progresses, it doesn't seem to respond to treatment, unless your hair just spontaneously grows back (which it does sometimes, so keep hoping!!)

My daughter is bald and is doing a treatment from a doctor who has much success with growing hair back. She is starting to sprout some hair so I wouldn't say that once your are bald it doesn't respond to any treatment. There are a few people on this site that I have met and with a similar treatment, they grew their hair back. We have tried just about everything but this one is well worth it.
Good luck in finding something...if you want to know more information, please pm me.

Bekah, it's called DNCB and our doctor is Dr. Strick in Santa Monica, CA. He is also on the Scientific Advisory Board for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. He is a great doctor and is the only doctor that we have come across that knows sooooo much about this disease, trust me, we have been to so many different doctors (I lost count) and he is the most knowledgeable of all!
