After the doctor finds out if your hair loss is Alopecia Areata you can begin some kind of treatment. There are not many treatments out there. I know that my dermatologists put me on steroids that were injected into my scalp every three weeks. We found out with my form of Alopecia areata it made it worse. The only thing it did for me was made me really fat. This made my whole condition ten times worse being in the 5th grade at the time. There are many kinds of chemicals that you can try to stimulate your hair follicles to get the hair to grow and stay. Everyone that has Alopecia areata has potential of his or her hair growing back and staying then being in a remission. You will never cure it forever you will always have it and have to deal with it. There are different kinds of therapys that you can do, but if youve had Alopecia areata for over two years you only have about 40% chance that it will help. Now that I have learned many new facts about my disease I am going to stick to the stress idea. Im going to go back to my doctor and talk to him about what I learned and what I want to try to do to help me grow some hair....
