White hair

I have over 50% hair loss due to AA. There are large amounts of white hair beginning to grow in large amounts. What should I make of it? I also have nummular eczema that appeared a few months before the first hair patch fell out. My allergies got horrible, skin looked like ringworm and pale, and hair fell out in large amounts.

I have been going to the doctor and they did biopsies to diagnose my skin condition. I had never heard of "nummular eczema until I read your post and looked up pictures, but after looking into it more the pictures look identical! I'm wandering maybe there could be a link in Alopecia and Eczema

the presence of nummular eczema combined with AA leads me to believe that is so, Cliff. They prescribed me Clabatosol ointment and it helps but only superficially. I'm trying to work with my diet starting with caffeine and alcohol. Haven't seen an allergist yet, but have a dermatologist app tomorrow night and will push this point. They have pretty much ingnored my eczema in the past.
Stacy, thanks for the feedback. I'll keep them growing!!!!
