regrowth after chemical burn ?


Recommended Posts

A while back I was toying around with the application of essential oils to promote hair growth.

I only applied the oils 3 or 4 time but had to stop the experiment when 2 pimple like red spots appeared.

 

Those spots grew and the skin around them appeared red and burnt. Worst of all, the hair in those areas had completely shed forming 2 quarter sized bald spots and remained this way for over 6 months.

 

Eventually, I decided to go see dermatologist who prescribed me some cortisone+antibiotic type cream. I applied this diligently, and within 2 weeks all the redness was gone.

 

As the months passed by I began to notice that the hair has regrown in those two spots and is significantly thicker than the surrounding hair.

 

Anyone ever notice anything of the sort ? or am I imagining things....

Are the bald spots caused by alopecia areata if so the cortisone treatment may have helped.
