A member asked:
Alopecia aretha for 3 years now and only recently visited a derm. is it that i can have alopecia scarring because i have had it for so long without spontaneous regrowth within a year as usual ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some people with alopecia aereata never regrow the hair.that was lost. I'm happy that you finally consulted a dermatologist who will begin treatment to determine whether you'll respond. He/she will also give you a prognosis.
