hi-- is saw your post in the iron board, but thought it more suiting to ask you a question here. i have diffuse areata and was wondering what courses you've taken for your AT. i am seeing one of the tops specialists in the world and she has me starting minoxidil (for temporary use--to kick start, hopefully, the follicles). have you tried this? claire |

Yes, I have tried this and I had great results!!! I used 2% at first then I moved to 5%. I had to have it mixed to that strength. It really helped my hair grow. My hair took a real turn for the worse then I got pregnant and had to stop all medications for AA. Nature took its course and here I am two years later wearing a wig. Since I had my son I have been put on this stuff called tacrolimus (or something like that) it is really greasy and I only apply it before bed. |

Before you try minoxidil ... remember that it must be taken FOR LIFE. If you quit ... you will lose all the hair you gained, and more. A better solution is light therapy at www.lovenewhair.com All the best. |
