I have been suffering with this condition for about 18 months. Lots of hair loss and red, sore inflamed scalp. I tried liquid steroids that didn’t help and refused any further treatment (oral steroids and malaria drugs) in search of a different approach. I have been having acupuncture for about 3 months, once a week. I have also completed a level 1 medical Qigong course l, and practice for half an hour every day and have managed to get the symptoms more under control. It’s much less angry and red and whilst I am still on this journey, I can say that I feel like this is working for me. Just wanted to let others know if they are looking for a more holistic option. The drugs I was offered treat the symptoms and not the cause. The problem is the immune system and I am working on fixing this rather than masking it! It’s been really awful and a lonely journey with many people not believing in what I was doing but I can say that this is working for for me and wanted to share with anyone else feeling helpless that is open to trying something different
