I am a 59 year old female who has been recently diagnosed with AA (though all my hair is thinning so it could be AT or AU). I first noticed it around July of this year. I have hypothyroid and am taking meds for that and it is under control.
I am taking the scalp injections and have had no side effects and there is new growth in those areas. This has been devastating to me as I am now single after a long marriage...this really puts a crimp in dating!!! I do have a wig on order, but really hate the thought of wearing one...lol.
I have done some research and there seems to be a lot of information or disinformation out there. Several questions:
Has anyone tried the DermMatch or Volluma products listed on this website under Skin and Hair products? If so, what is your opinion?
My research found some treaments and supplements that proclaim to help. They include:
acupuncture
aroma therapy
evening primrose oil
zinc (I already take a multivitamin that has 100% of this)
onion juice
Vitamin E
borage
black currant oil
phosphoricum acidum
If you have any experience with the above, please give me feedback of your results. And if you have found other things that have helped you, please give that as well. Thanks you so much and I look forward to hearing from you!!!
