Hey Doc, I'm right at the 2-month mark when my alopecia spot was first detected. I see no fundamental difference in size, but no actual regrowth. Should I consider treatment at this point or just wait for the 3-6 month window? Thanks a lot. P.S. I hope follow-up questions are allowed.
if may follow-up with another question Dr. Rockoff, is this a fairly common condition that tends to resolve on its own? thanks again.
Most cases of alopecia areata that start as a single bald spot fill in all by themselves. I wouldn't suggest any treatment at all, unless the spot is still there in 3 months. Time is most likely on your side.
best.
Dr. Rockoff
