Alopecia Areata And Regrowth Of Hair

    December 1977 in “ Archives of Dermatology ”
    Robert J. Winter
    TLDR Hair regrowth in alopecia areata is common, but recurrences happen frequently.
    The document discussed the recurrence of alopecia areata (AA) and hair regrowth. It confirmed that while most patients with AA experienced hair regrowth in affected areas, recurrences were common. A study by Muller and Winkelmann found that 80% of children and 65% of adults had recurrences over five years. Additionally, only 28% of patients treated with alternate-day prednisone therapy had lasting hair regrowth, aligning with previous findings.

      in Progress Pictures  83 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user's hair regrowth journey using biotin and minoxidil after initial treatments with Nizoral shampoo and Ketoconazole serum didn't work. The comments suggest the hair loss might not be male pattern baldness (MPB), but possibly Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder, and recommend getting a second opinion and considering other treatments like corticosteroids.
