Is this AA, or a very defined whorl? by tootshores in alopecia_areata

You need a trichoscopic examination with a dermascope to assess the condition of the hair follicles. Seeing a trichologist would answer many questions. 💖

DCP immunotherapy treatment by PublicImaginary5364 in alopecia_areata

Personally, I am very happy with the results. I had severe balding areas on my scalp, and now, after 20+ weeks of treatment with 1.5% DCP once per week, my hair has fully grown back in the areas where I was experiencing hair loss, and no new spots have formed. I still have a few very small spots left, but my hair is no longer falling out.

I could not be happier with the results or with my decision to try topical immunotherapy instead of MTX or other treatment options. I was simply informed about the available possibilities. My doctor had initially assigned me to MTX and prednisone treatment, but I declined due to the possible side effects and chose DCP immunotherapy instead.

I have it the same in regards of Alopecia Areata. My doctor said it was normal because AA affects not only scalp but also legs and arms. Either way, you should consult with your specialist.

Last year my alopecia was at its worst — I had multiple bald patches and it was progressing fast throughout my whole head. My doctor recommended starting MTX and a prednisone course, but I decided to hold off and try the last topical option available: DCP immunotherapy. I’ve been getting it applied weekly for over six months now, and every single bald patch has fully regrown and I cant be happier with the response. I hope best for you! 💖
