it must be as a result of the pork meat you stole at night....maybe you mistakenly rub your head with the oil...
next time you do that ensure your house is rat free�☺

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.

Change your diet to something that has more greens. You could easily blend 2 cups of greens and 1 banana to sweeten it. Blend 1 medium sized onion and 2 garlic cloves with half glass of water or less. Sieve it and add the onion and garlic to your stew. Pour some of the drained liquid on your scalp and do a scalp massage for 3 to 5 mins, wait for 30 mins and wash off with a shampoo e.g VO5 or Hair Fruits. The shampoo will reduce the smell of onions drastically or completely. Make a fresh batch each week. Do this for at least 6 -12 months to see results.

The sulphur in onion and garlic have been known to help prevent hair loss, aid hair regrowth in bald spots and improve overall hair and scalp health.

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

It is a very effective vasodilator

It should work for you.

It will grow back, is not permanent. It is cause by the immune system responding to itself.

Simple. Get topical Steroids cream or any cream that has an active ingredient like clobetasol propiponate. It will take like 3 months to heal and your hair grow back. Rogain can also work.

It isn't an infection, it's just a situation whereby your immune system fights with the hair follicles.
It's curable, visit a skin dermatologist, most preferable in a private hospital than a general hospital.
You'll be injected continuously into the bald patches, either once in three weeks or two weeks for a period of 2-3 months depending on the degree of the severity of yours.
You'll have to cut off the hair for fresh air once you begin the treatment and there are also invisible patches under which will be visible when you cut off the hair.

Don't try using hair growth supplements or herbs to just treat it, it'll cover up but its for a while.
Probably for a year or two, then it'll reoccur and this time around, it'll be so severe, leading to growth of boils around the genitals, armpit and in most cases, the face. Also, unending pus and foul odour emitting from the head.

You can also use damatol during the treatment, it helps in making the damaged scalp strong and allows for the regrowth of hairs.

P.s It's quite expensive but it's for the best. Health is wealth.
Good luck Bro.

I had same experience in 2010.. Just woke up and felt side of my head bald. I took different medication and spent a lot but hair won't grow back. Friends in school teased me and called the bald side memory card space. One faithful day, I was on my way to meet my doctor to explain there was no improvement on that bald part when suddenly a buzu woman ( they're Fulani, very tall with long hair.. Most times they sell tea and local herbs esp. buran tashi) the woman said she has cure for me bald part and if I also want hair in any part of my body, she has herbs for it. God knows I almost ignored that woman. She demanded for just #200 but I gave her #100 cos I felt it won't work.. Lo and behold, 2 days after I used her herbs, my hair came back. Hair I lost for more than 2years came back after 2days of using that herb. I wish I can meet that woman to appreciate her again.


Bro abeg what is the name of the herb?

I think you should meet a doctor. If the hair follicles there aren't dead, there might still be hope.

I signed in to suggest the same thing. Find those Niger women. I had a similar issue for decades and I bought chebe powder from them. It worked where nothing else did.

Good luck!

Experienced this sometimes back. Go and buy hair cream and Indian hemp. Melt the cream and mix with the dry hemp, then stir well till it blends. Once cool, apply sparingly you see results

It might be chebe powder and another black powder (I don't know what that is called. Those Fulani/ Niger women with very long hair sell these things. Google it.

People are also selling online but I bought from those women.
