Is PRP for alopecia areata safe during pregnancy?

H
hila1Jun 3, 2021

Hi, I wanted to know if PRP is safe and effective during pregnancy. I'm 31 years old on my first pregnancy. have never suffered from alopecia before, although I know my mom has suffered from it when she were young and stressed . I've been using Triamcinolone ointment for 6 weeks and had one low dose shot of steroids to my scalp. both have been super effective. The thing is that I've been stressed again lately and got 5 new patches on my scalp..
