Hi all,
I'm new to AW and loving this site. My hair has been shedding for 2 years, I have thinness and soreness at the crown. I went to several dermatologists and had a biopsy done. I was finally diagnosed with CCCA about a year ago. I've applied many things to my scalp, Olux, Dermasmooth, Nixoin, Loprox and other topical steroids. But nothing has stopped or even slowed the shedding.
Right now, I'm taking Doxycline 50 mg twice a day and Clobestal 0.05% topical lotion to my scalp twice a day. It is the first time I'm taking oral medication for my hair loss. My scalp feels a little calmer but the shedding remains the same. I can't touch my hair without a lot of long strands coming out. Trying to remain positive and trusting in God. Have any of you had any success with stopping or slowing the shedding?? Thanks in advance.
