Well. The shots I got last week left red marks on my scalp for a week! She must have given me super steroids! She also gave me A LOT more shots than I used to, with the other spot. She said she is treating this "aggressively". Scary.

I also have a new gel that I put on my little no-hair part of my head...it's called Lidex. It burned and itched like hell the first time I put it on...then my husband said (the next day) that it looked like it took a layer of skin off...jeez. Anyway, I am supposed to put it on twice a day but I only do it once because 1) I can't reach back there 2) sometimes I actually forget I have a bald spot.

The good news is that I think this spot has stopped getting bigger...my husband has been pulling on the hairs around it and they are holding strong...good hairs!

Amy,

You are young and adventurous, Yes? Then go out and get a fun hair extension, like a fall or a ponytail... pony tail hair additions are quite fashionable. Get a fashion magazine and find one hair style that will help cover the bald spot and re-create it. Once you shift your attention away from the bald spot, the injection therapy will have time to work and you will have new hair growth. If the spot remains, then you have learned through experience in how to adapt hair styles or hair pieces to enhance your natural beauty.
