I am trying to figure out what kind of shampoo would be good to use...I still have three big spots and they are getting bigger! I have tried to start using milder shampoos but it dont seem to help at all? Also I have been taking Biotin 5000...Does anyone know if that will help? I have a little bit of hair coming in on one spot..but the others are still smooth as ever! When I start feeling frustrated and sad...I get on here and just read and it makes me feel better!

Misty,
I take GNC skin, hair and nail supplements which are largely biotin. I can't say for sure that it helps, but I keep taking it because it does provide supplements that could help strengthen your hair and it seems to be without side effects. When my spots were growing I started using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree oil shampoo because it seemed to help relieve some of the itching. I also use Nizoral shampoo every few days as it's supposed to help cleanse the scalp and there are claims it might help slow hair loss. I can't say that any of this will make your hair grow back as that is going to take time no matter what, but these shampoos do seem to keep my scalp feeling healthy and less itchy.
Best Wishes!
Jeff
