This is a review of my 3-month treatment for alopecia areata.

One day, alopecia areata came to me.... Why did I get alopecia areata when I'm young and barely have any gray hair? I went to the dermatology clinic with tears in my eyes to treat alopecia areata. This is an honest and real review. (Please note that this post is about the treatment of alopecia areata, so the treatment methods for age-related or general hair loss differ.)

 

 

To begin with, I used to have seborrheic dermatitis, so even after it cleared up, I occasionally get pimples on my scalp. Scratching and touching the pimples on my head was the cause of the trouble. That day, it seemed like some pus had come up, so I squeezed it out. A few days later, when I looked in the mirror, huh??? There was no hair left only in that spot.

 

When I first discovered this, I was really, really surprised, and the shock I felt back then was immense 😱😱😱😱

Can hair fall out like this because of pimples? Or is it hair loss? I immediately rushed to the dermatologist.

 

The doctor said that the causes of alopecia areata are three: warning signs of hair loss, stress, and skin problems, and that mine falls under the latter category. It is not typical hair loss; there are red marks on my scalp caused by pimples (if you look at the photo above, you can see round red marks). So, it seems like the hair in the follicle has fallen out. They reassured me not to worry, saying that while general hair loss is difficult to cure because it is related to aging or immunity, alopecia areata is classified as a disease and can be cured quickly with injections.

 

There were no medications or ointments for treating alopecia areata; instead, it involved steroid injections every two weeks and exposing the scalp to something like infrared light. That was my treatment for alopecia areata. It has started.

Day 1 of alopecia areata treatment - You're asking if that's blood? Yes, haha. It's an injection mark. The injection just stings a little. It doesn't hurt.

 

Two months later - That area is the parting where it connects to the back of the head, and the gaps have been filled in a lot.

 

 

Three months later - this Treatment for alopecia areata for 3 months by receiving injections every two weeks like this It has come to an end.

 

I looked in the mirror later and saw that a lot of my hair had grown out!

Grow, hair!

 

 

A few months later lol. Now, even that short hair has fully grown out! 🤗🤗

 

I was really worried at first. When I searched online, I was anxious because some said it would heal just with an injection, while others said it could spread. However, in my case, the damage was to the hair follicles caused by a simple pimple, so I think it recovered relatively quickly. Fortunately, it hasn't recurred since the treatment, and I've been paying a lot of attention to scalp care ever since. I use shampoo specifically for scalp care, and now I absolutely never touch my scalp, even if I get a pimple haha.

Ah! And as I mentioned earlier, since alopecia areata is a medical condition, it has a separate code, so it is covered by private health insurance! Alopecia areata treatment It is usually done solely through injections, and while prices vary by clinic, when I searched back then, the average was around 15,000 won per session, and that was about the same for me. It might have gone up since then... but since it is covered by insurance, the actual out-of-pocket cost isn't high. I heard that general hair loss doesn't usually get cured with injections, and since it isn't considered a disease, it isn't covered by insurance.

What if I have developed alopecia areata? Then don't worry and head straight to a dermatologist. Alopecia areata can be treated with an injection. It is easily possible!!
