I have had them done for about 3 years now, yes that is a long time but there are finally results coming in. I also use a dertho cream that was prescribed to me by my dermatologist.

I tried the steroid injections once a month for a few months when I had totalis. I had regrowth at the injection sites, but it was not permanent. I stopped them because it just wasn't working for me, but from what I heard, different people react to different types of treatments. It wouldn't hurt to try it a few times to see what happens. 

And if you were wondering, I would get over 50 injections per visit and had no scarring.

Thanks for the info, i think i might as well go for it and see what possible results i might get. I dont mind being bald just dont like having patches, then again all this is still pretty new for me in time im sure i wont mind so much.

I received 4-6 treatments of the steroid injections from my dermatologist. And they worked! All the hair grew back and I went into remission. I would recommend getting them! But I am sure you have read on here that they did not work for a lot of people. My dermatologist things it depends on hoe large the spots are. Mine were quarter sized! But if yours are larger I'd still recommend them. They don't hurt & definitely worth a try. Good luck. Cheers.

I think it all depends on the person. I had them done because my hair started to grow back and I had patches (like you), but then a few weeks later my hair fell out again. I don't know if this has any connection to the shots, or if it was just my hair cycle. They don't hurt, and I didn't have any scarring, so I would definitely try it. If it works, then it's a great option.

i had 2 injections in one spot.  the hair grew back.  it had started to grow before the injection though, so i'm not sure if the injections really did anything.  i didn't have scarring, but i did have indentations in my scalp for months afterwards.  

i'd do it again, but those 2 injections cost me $100 out of pocket, and that was with really good insurance.  its just not worth it to me.
