Oh no! Bald Spot!

For a very long time I've been suffering from hair fall. I tried almost all kinds of hair fall shampoo in the market. But sadly none of them worked. Two months ago I accidentally noticed a bald spot on my head almost a size of a one peso coin. I literally freaked about my discovery. That same day I pay a visit to my dermatologist. She asked me if I'm undergoing chemotherapy  or radiotherapy session. I answered no to both then she told me that I am suffering from ALOPECIA. She explained that it is brought about by many factors but primarily it is a stress-related condition. She let me choose the kind of treatment that I wanted. The traditional which will require me to religiously apply hair grower to the affected area or I will get a steroid shot which cost 6000/shot! I asked her how many shots will it require before my hair come back she told me about 6-8 sessions. Upon calculating how much it will cost me I opted to chose the traditional way. But after a month of doing it nothing is happening but instead I also discovered 2 "baby bald spots" the size of a 5 cents coin. I decided I must do the steroid shot or else I might get bald. I set an appointment with my derma to schedule my shot. After talking to her my mom overheard my predicament she looked at my bald spots and told me cancel my steriod shot and try herbal approach by applying crushed GARLIC. I told her it wouldn't work she insisted for me to give it a try. So to end our discussion I gave in to her idea. After a week a noticed that hair is starting to grow on the affected area! It's already a month since I started the herbal approach for my ALOPECIA. And I'm happy that it is indeed working just fine for me. MOTHER KNOWS BEST after all. :-)
