FFA treatment Plaquenil or Methotrexate

Has anyone had success with these treatments?  Did your hair grow back and stay?  How long does it take to work?  If you did not use these treatments, what did you do, if anything.

 

Thank you

Hi Michele

You will find that treatments seem to work for some but not all.  I'm afraid this is the difficult thing about alopecia.  It has no real reason to do what it is doing and I'm afraid there is very little control around how it reacts.  

At this time there is no cure for alopecia even though some treatments do get a response, especially steroids.  The problem with many treatments is that there can be side effects and often you can not take them long term.  So, do your homework with your health provider before you decide on anything.

Good luck.
