You have a choice: Alopecia areata is often impossible to treat effectively. You are almost a grown man and you have the option of embracing what has happened to you. Good muscular development -- mass, definition, or both -- take precedence over hair, anywhere and everywhere. Some of the most outstanding physical specimens of men -- from vin diesel to damien walters -- are hairless by choice. Hit the gym.

Unfortunate.: Sounds like you have tried it all. Early age of onset and persistence of disease beyond 1 year are both poor prognostic indicators. It may be that your hair does not regrow.
