Hello all!
I was 31 weeks pregnant when I was diagnosed with alopecia. It was small 4 bald spots (forehead, sideburn, behind my ear, and on the top of my head). That was exactly 5 weeks ago and now I am 36 weeks pregnant. And they have all gotten bigger and just recently noticed a new bald spot. I cry all the time when I shower seeing how much hair falls off. My doctor prescribed me a very oily ointment called Betamethasone Valerate since the day she diagnosed me with alopecia. It doesn't seem to be working because they're all spreading and just noticed a new one. My family and friends keep telling me that it may all be due to the pregnancy since I've never had this before and it's my first pregnancy. Has anyone heard women who get alopecia during pregnancy and get their hair back afterwards?
