Thanks. The steroids are quite good, as is dermol topical steroid. What people don't understand is the heartache or desperation involved. Or that all these things take their toll on your self esteem and emotional wellbeing. I've been meaning to blog about it but Havnt had the courage, instead burying my head in the perverbial sand, as if by denying it, I might one day wake up and find it a terrible nightmare. Sigh.

Does anyone know how to calm the itching until I can get my Dermatology appt.? I have tried anti itch shampoo (T-gel, Head n shoulders). It is driving me crazy..

This is my third time for my hair to fall out, and every time it does it itches right before it does fall out 

I have got to know that when it itches real bad that means it coming out again.

Sorry I can't be more helpful but I have found truth is better than false hope.

With scaring alopecia they don't grow back so it may not be an option

Shots take about 3 weeks to work. You might think they are not working then by week 3 you see some new tiny hairs, week 4 a lot of new hairs. Sometimes they are the opaque/white AA hairs. Those white hairs usually turn back to my natural color in 1-2 weeks. Not everyone responds to the shots like I do, I am lucky in that way.

I had steroid injected in my brow area as I haven't had eyebrows for years and made no difference . I've also list hair on part of my arms and legs along with forehead hairline which I was told won't grow back. I wish I could stop the loss where it is which is at a point I can still hide it.

Shots are cortisone steriod (kenalog name brand). I get about 20 shots in my scalp monthly, just under the skin and sometimes in my eyebrows when they start disappearing. Shots on top of my head don't hurt much but the back of my head and eyebrows sure does. Doctor puts a numbing agent in but that only works when you need a lot of shots in the same area.

Mine isn't severe at the moment and hopefully the FFA will runs it's course but it still has had a massive impact on my life confidence esteem etc so I'm with you all on that one x
