I noticed a 1.5 inch bald patch in June of this year (2011). Now 6 mos. later, the patch has grown to about 5 in by 6 in. down to my nape. I luckily can still hide it with my long hair, but can wear it up without showing the patch. It is still falling out. I dread brushing it. A new spot started on top of my head, but is small (1 cm) and hasn't grown bigger, yet. I have tried Clobetasol Foam 0.05%, Triamcinolone Acetonide ointment, and have a Dermatologist appt coming up for a cortisone shot. Nothing is really working. Maybe the shot will help. I also have Spectral.DNC a Minoxidil 4.5% spray I haven't started using yet. I may be shopping for wigs soon.
