was recently diagnosed with AA due to a spot on my head which has regrowth but im also experiencing increased diffuse shedding from the bulb and watching my hairline change has me anxious and frustrated- i go back to derm in a few days for a biopsy. thoughts? anyone with similiar experiences? I had norovirus in january- shedding started in march with i thought was te until i found the patch and noticed my hairline changing and went to derm- currently on 6 day taper prednisone and had kenalog injection into spot in scalp

Recently diagnosed with AA (have a spot on my head with some regrowth)- i also have been experiencing diffuse shedding for a few months and see my hairline going. anyone else have a similar experience? i see my derm again monday and asking for a biopsy! it is literally consuming me and no one i talk to can relate

my spot has grown in just a few days and i’m wondering if this is normal? has anyone experienced diffuse shedding and a patch of hair loss? I know i am in an active flare because 1. the spot is growing 2. it feels burny and achey on my scalp. how long do flares last? i am trying to trust the process but im freaking out because i see my hairline changing too! thoughts on minoxidil?

No i am not referring to telogen effluvium, but significant shed all over especially my hair line, looks like tiny spots everywhere almost. I just got diagnosed and go for injections soon but im worried about my hairline if i only get injections in my one bigger spot. Anyone have experience stopping a flare and recovery/regrowth?

I plan to go back to my whole food only diet, using a peptide topical and exosome topical and red light therapy.

please help!

I was recently diagnosed after noticing this spot out of no where. The first picture is today and 2nd one is last week. I do see regrowth BUT the spot is getting bigger and im noticing other areas where it looks like a spot is forming. I am shedding so much and the right side of my hair is so thin now. What has helped anyone in an active flare? I had a viral illness in January that my gut is still recovering from (norovirus) and have been under immense stress because of this. I see my derm in a few days for steroid injections and might start an oral steroid taper. Someone please give me some hope and suggestions, I don’t know anyone who has been through what im going through. I am also open to any topical or oral solutions that are natural and can stop a flare? Thank you!! 💗
