A member asked:
I am a woman of43 and recently diagnosed with alopecia areata. i never had this condition ever before. what are the chances of total regrowth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually most: patients with AA will regrow hair without any treatment at all but it can take a year or more. Treatment options of intralesional steroid injections usually work quickly, and new treatment options are on the horizon. I would at least use topical prescription meds and consider injections first.
