What Causes Bald Spots During Alopecia Areata?
Hello I have diagnosed with alopecia areata last year may 2013. A bald spot on the scalp which was appeared on the left side of the head above my ear. I have got two steriod shots and applied tugain 5% for the hair to come back. Now i had gone for hair cut and observed a small patch in the same place where it was observed last time. I am scared now since it might get increase in size later like how it was happened last time. Kindly advice what should i do now?
