loss and re-growth
Hi Guys!
I was wondering about your experiences with loss and re-growth.
My Alopecia was first discovered in December of 2008. My case is mild so far as I have only one patch. In December, it started as a small patch the size of a U.S. quarter. It very slowly grew to 3 ½ inches in diameter. By January, I had signs of re-growth on the inside but it was like many have described as fuzz. As the perimeters continued to lose hair, I thought that the hair would grow from the inside to out. Instead what happened was the hair fall stopped and the perimeters have now (mid March) started growing real hair that is growing to the center. (from the outside in) So, the hair that fell out last is growing first. What are your experiences?

Hi Tina,
I noticed my first patch in December of 2008 as well. It started out about the size of a dime and continued until it hit around 3 1/2 inches like yours. I started noticing more patches developing and decided to shave it the end of January. I had counted a total of 16 patches...but none of which went as large as the first patch on the top of my head. I was given clobetasol...but stopped using it a few weeks later because it was hurting my head. Since then...all of the small patches...that came in last, now have a mixed regrowth of brown and white hairs. The large patch is doing exactly what yours is...growing from the outside in, although I had white hairs growing beforehand..which are getting pretty long. Strange I thought...but hey - it's regrowth right?? lol
I did notice last night though, that there seemed to be a new patch - I think...I can't really be certain if it was there before. But I seem to be able to get a few more hairs out from that area. I am just happy to see something happening on my head. But i'm not getting my hopes up - I think there will always be doubt that my hair will stay.
Anyhow...keep me posted on your progress!! Good luck! :)
Happy Easter
