What Might Happen After a Bare Patch Appears?

  • Hair may grow back within a few months, often starting white or gray before returning to its natural color.
  • New bare patches may form as old ones regrow.
  • Small patches might merge into larger ones.
  • In rare cases, all hair on the scalp (Alopecia Totalis) or even the entire body (Alopecia Universalis) might be lost.
  • Hair usually grows back, but additional hair loss episodes can occur.
