There’s hope! ❤️

So, it’s been a few months since I was diagnosed with AA.

The first month was an absolute disaster for me mentally, physically. Lost confidence, hair (obvs), love for self and most importantly hope. Was put on some steroids, minoxidil and all that jazz.

I decided to go for a second opinion in month 2 and the doc changed up my meds to - steroids, immuno suppressants and asked me to go off minoxidil. I was confused but the doctor is very well known and has a good track record. I trusted.

Going off minoxidil was a game changer. My scalp got a lot less dry, the dandruff and flakiness is gone. I was prescribed an anti-dandruff shampoo by the doc will healed my scalp. Instead of minoxidil, I started with rosemary (homemade) treatment and some oil from time and time. Phew, there’s hope and my hair seems a lot more healthy, my scalp is clean and not scratchy and most importantly- I see hair growth :)) some patches are nearly gone and mind you, I have 13 of them.
