Hi, I was diagnosed with cc alopecia 2 days ago. I've had this bald patch for maybe 2-5 years. Larger portion of scalp was infected after receiving a poor relaxer 7 yrs ago. Md prescribed compound of rogaine2%, temovate, salicylic acid 15%. I am reluctant to take rogaine. I have been picking at area every day for 7 yrs. I put hydrocortisone and it is not as itchy. I don't have any other bald patches. Alopecia runs in family, as my mom lost all hair in 30s. Goal is normal scalp not regrowth.
