So, 3 nice new noticable patchs are now gone on my face, the original patch which was treated with corti shots has fallen back out. I havent noticed any new success from using Zinc, Biotin, supplements for the past 2 months now. A connection I can make with my alopecia is it seems to occur when times of extreme emtional/stress occur. When that happens, the alopecia attacks and it seems to love the facial hair alot. So now Im shaving my face and my head.....yikes.
