Frustrated
Do you guys think this is diffuse alopecia areata? My parents and my doctors think I am absolutely crazy. My dermatologist told me there is no way that I can have alopecia areata in a diffuse pattern and that I must have alopecia areata in one spot and then telogen effluvium and to go to an endrocronologist.
I've attached some pictures. Yesterday I rubbed my eyebrow and 11 eyebrows fell out. I shed a lot of hair every day in the shower, and I only have that one patch which has not grown in size.
The hair is drier than usual and hard to manage.

Hi
Getting a diagnosis is really not the issue here is it?? The reality is the diagnosis won't effect you...hairloss will. At this time when I look at your piccies I see a young man with a good head of hair. I don't know if you have alopecia or not (if your patch of loss has not grown I think you may be fairly safe). If your hairloss becomes more extensive you will know.
If you do have alopecia areata - there is no answers for you as to what is going to happen, there is no cure at this time and no way of giving a prognosis for how extensive your hairloss may be.
Looking at you, it seems that at this time you have a good amount of hair. It may be sensible to leave this now and get on with life. If it gets worse then come and say hi.
Hope this helps.
