I thought that it was about time that I updated my regrowth blog. I'm really happy to say that the regrowth of hair on my head has been pretty impressive. I've gone from having 20+ patches to them all filling in. Some have still to thicken up a bit.

This is the patch on the back of my head near my crown.



This is the first patch which appeared a year ago. Strangely, it has been the slowest to fill in. It is still filled with mainly white hairs (they don't show up on the pictures but are quite long now) but a few of them have been darkening up.



Despite this improvement, alopecia (or the potential threat of it!) still gets me down so part of the reason for this blog is to make myself feel a bit more positive. I'm still in the danger zone as there is a pinky looking/itchy patch starting on the back of my head so I'm hoping that it doesn't develop into anything major, plus hairloss on my beard continues. I need to keep reminding myself of the improvement in just a few months. I am very grateful for that.

I hope this gives you some hope too. We will beat this!

Thanks Robert. I still get the occasional spot but luckily they haven't expanded much and have been easy to hide. I'm still on edge over what could happen but I just hope that I never have to go through the bad spells again. Glad to hear that the treatments worked for you too. I never did get any shots - the steroid foam and cream seems to work well enough for me.
