Update: I went back to the 1st derm for my second round of cortisone shots, this time the physician assistant administered the shots. I asked her if this could be anything other than alopecia. she said that it looked to be because it starts out with breakage and the only way to know is to take a biopsy but since my hair was responding to treatment we continue on the path of cortisone shots, script shampoo and prescript oil. I have to say I agree, now that my scalp is responding my bald spot has filled back into a patch. there is no bare skin anymore so I don't want to get the biopsy from the 2nd derm that is scheduled for this thursday. I do want to know the results from my blood test. I'm still following my above regimen.
The results from my thyroid lab work were normal. My hair is responding to the shots and growing in. I use jbco daily and sit under the conditioning cap a couple of times a week. I wash my hair weekly and use the pulsating shower for my scalp massage.
