About Me:
I was diagnosed with alopecia at age 29. My grandmother had lost all her at the age of 14, to which it never grew back. I noticed a dime size spot on accident on the very back of my head. Doctors would tell me I had a yeast infection or a ringworm on my head. Within 3 weeks the entire side of my head was bald. Couldn't get a referral to a dermatologist. While taking my girls to the hospitals shot clinic I thought I'd try to just make an appointment. The receptionist refused. I whipped off my hat, started screaming and crying, throwing magazines. I was yelling, "Look at my head" over and over at the top of my lungs. Along came a security guard who ever so nicely escorted me and my girls into a patient room. Didn't take the dermatologist long to look at me and refered me to a specialist!
It's been over 10 years now, and I go in for steroid shots the first time I see a spot appear. Usually, every 2 to 3 years. I am blessed to have only one spot. I believe that security guard was my guardian angel.

Anyone have burning sensation prior to AA noticement? Histiocytosis sufferers?

Posted on June 10, 2009 at 8:22am 2 Comments

One night I remember waking up with a burning, like a lit cigar held to my head, a few days prior to noticing my first spot, at age 29! Has this happened to anyone else? Maternal grandmother lost all her hair at 14, in the late 1930's. Figured heredity. Since then, I have been diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. Alopecia can occur from LCH of the scalp, however I was never tested. Wondering if it could have been heredity, LCH, or maybe a centipede bite! Remember waking up with a… Continue

I only have one spot also, but it is somewhat big. Depends on what you consider big I guess. If you look at my pictures I had two other spots also and a lot of thinning all over my head. So I shaved my head. That was less than a month ago and now the two spots I had on the sides of my head are growing back in as is the rest of my hair, except for the lonely spot in the back. The one in the back was my first one and it is now my only one. It has a little regrowth on it but nothing to be so excited about.

I had steroids and after that..couldn't run marathons or do weights.
It caused muscle fatigue and numerous other ailments.
Yes...I'm an allergy sufferer from birth..eczema and asthma.
So when I began losing my at the age of 14..it was "PAINFUL" IRRITATING, BURNING RED HOT SENSITIVE PATCHES.Of course my mother had every excuse in the book to put blame on me...the hair dryer...the braides...the shampoo and conditioner.At 17 I had a BIOPSY and they found inflamation in the FOLICLES!
nOW i'M 52....STILL BALD..STILL GETTING NEGATIVE OPINION..YET I STAND WITH PRIDE AND KNOW WHO I AM.
