Hi Tammy,
Beware of claims that you can take something and cure alopecia. So far, there is no 'cure' just treatments that may or may not really help. While hormones may play a role in triggering alopecia, there isn't any proof that taking them will change anything - in fact - I've never heard that anyone has been helped in this way. Sometimes, alopecia just shuts itself off for no obvious reason and if a person has been trying some sort of treatment, they ascribe the improvement to that treatment when it would have gotten better all on it's own anyway. Be careful.
Hi Tammy, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to Alopecia World. I have been living with Alopecia Areata since 1991 and know full well the struggle it can be. I look forward to getting to know you. Cheryl, Co-founder
