Hi BBT,
Yes, alopecia areata can be worse during the warm seasons and like most autoimmune diseases can be quite variable in presentation. I don’t see anything in your post that rules out alopecia areata and some things that suggests it, beside the seasonality the distribution is typical. I would like to know what other diagnosis’ you have received and the results from the biopsies. What type test was run that was positive for aa.
