I suffered from alopecia areata (patchy to complete hair loss) since I was 13. From time to time I would go to a dermatologist to see if there was any new treatments for me. Finally a derm. began giving me pin-prick type injections of Kenalog in the scalp on a weekly basis. After a month. I had 100% hair regrowth. Boy, was I happy. Then he told me I couldn't have the injections more often than monthly, as he was afraid of overuse. The hair began falling out again. The monthly treatments weren't enough. I have the problem to this day. I wonder if I could start again on a weekly basis?
