Alopecia and Allergies?

I think I found some info on this topic, but my allergist seems to think if I can control the crazy amount of allergies I have from moving due to military that my immune system may calm down. So now I'm getting allergy shots. I'm highly allergic to the environmental stuff (tree/grass pollen) dust mites. This started when we moved up north from FL and still stuck up North. My first patch went missing then. So now we have dust mite covers on everything, we have to say bye to the dog since my little ones have the same allergies as me.

PS: No family history known for autoimmune, I tested positive for ANA (alopecia) this year but been dealing it with since we first moved 7 years ago. 

Curious to see what others think. Thanks.

I've suffered from allergies for the past 17 years. It was sinus allergies. It got so bad I had to have sinusitis surgery because I developed polyps in my sinuses. I literally couldn't breath through my nose for the longest time prior to the surgery.

Ive always felt there was a connection between the allergies and the newly developed Alopecia. I'm back on xeljanz and am now taking it with 180mg Allegra so I'll see if the Allegra helps. I just re-started my xeljanz about a week ago.

Thanks for sharing that. Is the Xeljanz helpful. It's hard to consider taking it. Do you have any side effects?

If male hair loss, mainly at the front and the top of the head, the hair on the forehead moves upwards with the horn, the hair on the front and the top is sparse, yellow, and soft, eventually causing the top of the bald or fluffy hair, the female hair loss at the top of the head, The hair becomes sparse, but it does not completely fall off into pieces.
Reason: 1. In the process of living, working, and studying, there is excessive stress, nervousness, and frequent staying up late. 2. Life and rest are not regular, often stay up late to work overtime, play games all night, leading to metabolic disorders in the New City, the body is not functioning properly. 3.

In #3, what virus and high heat are you talking about?  Mother cells - really?
