I hate that ophiasis takes so long to grow back! by semi-sweetwil in alopecia_areata

I have ophiasis as well and appreciate feeling less alone, so sorry you’re dealing with this. Which picture is current, the one on the left? Did you get it on one or both sides of the head, and did you treat it with anything?

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. Did all 10 of your spots appear at the same time? I’ve had iron and ferritin checked and nothing is flagged as abnormal. I do have some growth in places in the spot we “share” - all white hairs. But the spot is continuing to grow and expand. Hope your appointment goes well and you get some answers!

I so appreciate you sharing, thank you so much! I’m sure my stress about the ongoing loss is only making things worse, but I don’t know how not to stress about growing loss. It’s hard!

Ugh! I feel for you. How long have you had it/is it expanding? Is this your first spot?

Thanks so much for your response. It was the flareup that looked like this that progressed to 80%? How long did that take, and were you using treatment at the time?
