    Thank you for sharing your story! I was diagnosed with early scarring alopecia/ccca (plus I'm in menopause, so there's that) in January 2021, after losing most of my crown area. I met with a dermatologist (one horrible/one good) and decided to take an approach that focused on nutrition (ant-inflammatory and eliminating dairy). My hair is growing back (no meds or oils) and it's thicker than it has been in years. I'm still on the journey and just started a UA-cam channel to document this process and connect with other. We got this!

      Thanks for stopping by. I'll check out your channel. I'm approaching it with nutrition as well. I just couldn't when the derm suggested shots in my head! Anywho, still on the journey and will post an update soon...

    I was recently diagnosed with CCCA by biopsy. I opted to be aggressive with the treatment by injections, Clobetasol foam, Rogaine and antibiotic Doxoycline to combat the inflammation for 3 months along with prayers oh and diet change.
    Hope your journey is successful.

    I was diagnosed with ccca alopecia as well by a dermatologist i thought the thinning and bald spots came from sew in weaves and glue ins so i ignored it for a long time .they said monoxidyl i tried that but there was something in the product that made my heart beat very fast i also got injections in my scalp which was very painful i never went back because i lost my job i got another job just waiting for insurance to kick in but i was advised not to manipulate area so i wear wigs i just put them on no glue no sew ins i use aloe vera treatment as well as deep conditioning and braids underneath along with doo grow hair grease mixed with rose mary peppermint avocado and Jamaican black castor oil with prayer yes i pray for my hair and have gotten great results im not cured yet but i had a breakthrough which mean there is hope i hope this helps someone i was thinking of making a video

    I have also been diagnosed CCCA, they found scarring in my biopsy. :(
    I have been doing a topical and injection to hopefully stop it from spreading. I have expected that hair wont grow back but I just want it to stop. I have also chopped my hair off and started my loc journey.
    How are things going for you since the treatment?

      I started treatment 6 months ago and I have seen a DRASTIC change. I recently did a big chop and there was no way I couldve pulled it off a year ago lol. I also include biotin and scalp massages into my day. You can buy both from Amazon for a great price. Dr put me on a break from injections for 3 months to see how it plays out while still using the minoxidil

    So should I go to a trichologist or a dermatologist? My hair is breaking in the crown area and my scalp is super tender and irritated.... I need a doctor like now ... I’m about to cut my hair off

      Don't cut your hair until you see a dermatologist, preferably a Black dermatologist.

    • @loccessories
      @loccessories  3 роки тому +5

      Visit a dermatologist first to determine underlying causes. A trichologist is a good follow up to help you with treatment plan.

      Trichologist are good for holistic health and to reduce hair loss. Dermatologist are good for conventional medicine to stop inflammation. I use both and have stemmed my hair loss.

      You can but it’s best to treat the inflamed area.

    • @loccessories
      @loccessories  2 роки тому +2

      Starting all over wouldn't help with the actual CCCA because the cause stems from internal conditions. Until that's addressed, when the hair grows back, the same pattern would return.

      I am not a licensed professional, just sharing my personal story. However, maybe there's a trichologist in your area that can help. Try looking for someone who prioritizes natural approaches. Some offer online services now too...
