My dermatologist diagnosed me with AA.
It's 100% AA. It started last year. I already had years with regular MPB, diagnosed with MPB by every doctor I saw. It was not an idea that I got, it's a fact. I have both MPB and AA.

BTW the spots where I have AA, where completely hairless, just soft skin, not one hair. 4 injections of Corticosteroids throughout 4 months, brought hair to the spots, but it's still noticeable. Corticosteroids would not work on either MPB or Diffuse Thinners.
I wish it was just diffuse thinning. It would have been much easier.

What kind of antibiotics?
No, I haven't used garlic or iodine on my hair. Or eggs or mayonnaise or any food that any one suggests for me to use. Lol.

AA is thought to be caused by bacteria/microbes.
iodonie/garlic have been used by AA patients for regrowth due to thier antibacterial properties.
anyway you'll probably benefit from some of these treatments posted in this thread.

why do you think this? especially when you consider we now know PGD2 is not only affecting AAs, but MPBs too.
