One of the most common things women with alopecia areata want to know is when their hair will grow back. Unfortunately, alopecia is an extremely unpredictable disorder. Many factors can combine to cause it, it can start quite suddenly, and the prognosis for each person with the condition will be different.<\/p>\n
This rather vague answer can be frustrating for women with alopecia when they hear it from their doctor, but it\u2019s often the only answer available. Doctors can prescribe treatments, and these may even be effective \u2013 it\u2019s all about trial and error. Some people may experience hair regrowth after a few months or a year, whilst others may have to wait a lot longer. In some cases, hair may grow back and then fall out again.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to accept that you don\u2019t have any control over the disorder or even your own body, but acceptance of what\u2019s happening to you and a healthy dose of positive thinking are some of the only things you can do to cope. Another is to find suitable hair replacement or hair management solutions to help you cover or disguise hair loss until your hair can grow back.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, you could shave your remaining hair off and embrace your baldness. It\u2019s all up to you, but you aren\u2019t alone in making your decision. Seek out support groups and other people with alopecia to see how they\u2019ve coped and talk through your concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
