Why don't you order for minoxidil on Jumia or Konga

It is a very effective vasodilator

It should work for you.
Yes,it works.

Good day all. Sometime last year I just woke up one morning and noticed a bald patch in the middle of my head overnight. When I googled it I found out that it is called ALOPECIA AREATA and that it has no cure. I learnt that it is caused by the body's defence system fighting the hell cells for no reason.

Pls I would like to know if any Nairalander has experienced this before and how he or she handled it.

I had to login because of you OP( usually I'm always on ghost mode).

Speaking from experience bro, it has happened to me. Mine had patches all over my head.

A colleague of mine told me it was due to high stress level( which at the time I was working my a$$ off). Another of my colleague advised I apply garlic on it three times a day(Morning, afternoon and night).
In less than a month, my hair grew back to normal. Don't be troubled you will be fine again once you follow through this procedure.

Shalom.

Don't let the comments here weigh you down. I experienced this mid last year. I suddenly wake up to discover those patches on my hair. As months went by I lost even more. I started barbing skin cut gradually on those places I saw patches. It was hard to accept at first and I result to wear cap often.

Google said no cure and all. You might be lucky to regrow again. For me my hair have regrown. I tried all the hair formula none worked.

But I tried so many things. You lack vitamin d. Ensure you take some early morning sun. Drink glucose D. Change your diet. Eat lots of fruits and eat local dish like abacha, fio fio, beans, eat cashew nuts, fruit salad, drink enough water.

And avoid too much masturbation. Try this for some months.
Haa masturbating keh.. Why not say avoid sex

Hello op...i experienced same before oh. I wasted lots of cash doing test and buying drugs at a specialist hospital...

What i later got online is using guava leaf.
Boil guava leaf and boil it, drink it like three to four times a day and use some to massage your hair like twice daily...i did it for close to two weeks before seeing gradual result. Its totally gone now.

Hello bro, sorry to hear about your current situation. It actually doesn't have a cure but here are few things you can do and hopefully you will regain your hairs and confidence.
1. If you do alcohol, then STOP it immediately
2. Try to reduce your stress level to the lowest minimum.
3. Try to get enough sleep, maybe more than normal.
3. Eat more of fruits and finally
4. Create time for exercise and plays(things that will relax your mind and make you happy)
I think with these steps you are good. Then you just have to be patient with it and give it time, say 6mnth to 1yr, you will start gaining back your hairs.
I had such in 2018 and on my face (beard area). I was lucky to know I was really under so much stress then bcz it came with sinusitis too. But I did the above listed and to God be the glory and perfect now. God really intervened.

Go and see a physiotherapist so that he/she can apply electromagnetic radiation on your head.

It will definitely help you.

Don't thank me,thank God!!!!

You are right. I use pure coconut oil. No addition. Just coconut oil. It makes them looks long and soft.
Thanks G, but where will I get that from; Local drug store, grocery store or cream store. Any idea?

what if he doesn't have a beard? I guess pubic hairs then? Lol

Most people don't look good in skincut... No matter what, you need to have a certain type of head shape to enjoy going bald.

Op it's obvious this stuff brothers you, I'm probably sure there is medical solution for your condition. If you feel going bald would suit your head... Then give it a try. While save up for hair implant... it was around 1mil Naira...the Last time I checked for my elder brother who hates his Early baldness more than anything in life...

Dude cut his long time natural dread in the name of maturity and realized he couldn't grow the front part of his hair back no matter what he tried... He wan run mad lol, but luckily it's 21st century... And there is a solution for everything... Now planning for the implant. And I'm happy for him.

Not feeling comfortable or not liking the way you look can lead to depression and low self esteem... Trust me.

Best of luck

Its a piece of cake.
I had it when I was in secondary school and a medical doctor (American trained) gave me the solution. And its been over 20 years nothing like Alopecia again.

Solution

Good to any good pharmacy buy Centrum an American food supplement take it once a day finish one bottle and you are good.

Thank me later.

They could also predispose him to infections though.Corticosteroids have grave side effects.If he wants to fight off this alopecia, he'll have to use the drugs for as long as possible.The cons far outweigh the pros.It's better he just shaves everything off.He's a man.If it were a woman,then it would be necessary to look for a solution.
byinks:
Yeah it's cause is autoimmune in origin.

Corticosteroid may help.
