My son 25 just got diagnosed with Alopecia Areata( auto immunuie disease). he has been on remicade for 7 years and just started to lose his hair this summer. The dermatologist said once you have an auto immune disease you can get another easily. She is giving him injections into his scalp and told him to use rogaine as well. He will get the injections once a month ( about 30- 50 each time). She said she can get his hair to grow back and its all brought on by stress too. Basically its a flair on your scalp. It takes about 3- 6 months for new hair to grow so it is a slow process. She put him in a study, said there are several out there studying auto immune diseases, hair loss, [wiki2="Inflammation"]Inflammation[/wiki2], with TNF drugs etc... Lets hope it grows back!!
