Hello there. the treatment and the duration of treatment differs from patient to patient and also depending on the degree of hair loss. if you have gained your hair back, i would suggest you to continue the same treatment for at least a month and also have a diet high in biotin. yes your alopecia can return. consult your dermatologist for further opinion. best regards, Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
