[Treatment Review] I'm glad I covered my two circular bald spots with long hair. My dermatology treatment review.

This is a story related to alopecia areata that happened six years ago in 2017.

At that time, I was in my 30s...

One day suddenly, I was whipping my hair around...

My husband said, "Hey, wait a minute..." and then... Wow... Isn't this just like that!!! (We're the same age!! We're very close friends)

Then you said, "Did you get a hole in your head???"

I was so surprised that I looked in the mirror... Oh my~~

There are not just one, but two holes. They are evenly balanced on the left and right sides.

The photo likely shows alopecia areata on the left side of the head.

It was probably about the size of a 50-won coin.

When I touched my head, it felt very smooth.

Actually, there were two things that caused me stress.

The first is a tense power struggle with my husband over moving issues, and the second is staying up late at night to obtain a certification.

Staying up late and writing reports may have contributed to the cause of alopecia areata.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I developed two patches of alopecia areata and went to the dermatologist early the next morning.

This can never be like this, sobs.

When asked why I came to the dermatology clinic, I quietly explained that I have alopecia areata and then pulled out my hair.

I handed it to the nurse.

 

After thoroughly disinfecting the area with alcohol swabs, the treatment method involves...

It was a method of injecting the medication into the syringe and directly administering the injection to the area of alopecia areata.

This is the wound caused by the injection in the photo below.

After receiving this single injection... wow, it's amazing. My hair is growing back immediately.

Hair peeks out between the red skin, hehe.

And next week, I was told to come again for an injection, so I received a total of two injections.

I was prescribed a medication called Metapason from Chongwha Pharmaceutical, and I applied it twice a day, morning and evening.

This medication is very greasy, so it has the side effect of making it look like you haven't washed your hair.

I received injections and ointment prescriptions very well, and my hair grew rapidly like bean sprouts.

When the hair grows back in the alopecia area, that spot used to protrude and was unpleasant to look at.

If you don't receive treatment, the affected area will grow larger, and if it continues to enlarge, it will become bigger than a 500-won coin.

There was a sad story about losing hair, so I received treatment immediately.

 

 

This is Metapason from Jungwo Pharmaceutical, which was prescribed for daily application.

This is a product applied to the affected area twice a day.

It is a product that can be applied to the affected area as a white, thin lotion type.

 

 

At that time, it was a habit to look in the mirror every day to see if another patch of alopecia had appeared.

Although alopecia areata can occur regardless of age,..

I never even dreamed that something like this would happen to me.

Since then, I try to go to bed earlier and avoid stress.

Two causes that were provided

The first moving issue was based on my alopecia, and my husband agreed with my opinion.

Three years ago, I moved in front of the school and I am watching the children go to school safely.

If it hadn't been for that choice, I probably wouldn't have been able to move here.

Our house where alopecia has taken over

And also successfully obtained the second social worker certification.

It works very well with ID cards, haha.

 

If you discover alopecia areata, please seek treatment at a dermatology clinic immediately.

If left untreated, it can lead to hair loss.
