Wrong diagnosis

So last week Thursday my dermatologist stated that I had Alopecia Areata for sure but wanted to perform a biopsy just incase. So a week later, which is today, they removed 2 stitches that I received from last week. She came back with my results and I actually have Androgentic Alopecia and Demodex Folliculitis. Which in other terms I had human mites eating at my hair follicules which in turn was making me lose my hair. They issued me a prescription for Metrogel and would like to see the results in 3 weeks from today. Hopefully everything works out, I finally told my boyfriend and Im just glad he understood and he said he will be here for me. Good luck to everyone! Best wishes

At least they cleared up exactly what it was that was causing it. Did they give you any suggestions on medication? Hope it works out.

Yes they did give me medication, they gave me metrogel. Tomorrow I go to the dermatologist to see what steps I have to take to actually get my hair back.
