[quote=Anonymous]I am the one who posted that in my case it was autoimmune. FWIW my primary care doctor could not have been less interested in my hair loss and basically said it was not a medical issue, just aesthetic, and that it would either grow back or not. My dermatologist was vastly more sympathetic and treated me with steroid shots, and mine did grow back (though periodically it falls out again). Although she too was very dismissive of the idea of a "root cause" that I should treat. Perhaps in a teen they would handle it differently, but I just add this in case you are surprised by the doctor's reaction. They really acted as if I were crazy to think it might be significant.[/quote]
