I am a queer 28 y/o post engineering student(as in I desperately want to leave engineering and I am done with being a student), looking for job now. I have been having bouts of alopecia for years, but it became quite apparent 1.5 years ago, and last summer I shaved my head. I shaved it again recently! Just looking to meet other folk and maybe get some tips on how to deal with this condition.
When I was shaving and even when I wasn't I constantly wear caps, or bandannas to hide my condition, even in the middle of winter! I hope with proper shaving, I won't mind showing my bald head around.
Do you have alopecia? (Choose appropriately)
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?

I was reading a comment that you posted about tips on shaving (i'm a girl so i dont shave) but I noticed that you said you get treatment for a skin condition. That wouldn't be vitiligo would it? I have AA and Vitiligo
Hi Prakash, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to Alopecia World. I have been living with Alopecia Areata since 1991 and know full well the struggle it can be. I look forward to getting to know you. Cheryl, Co-founder
