Is there any way to get rid of patches of hair on my head?

I have had alopecia universalis for 3 years and at first I was sad to see my hair go. But now I don't really care that I don't have any hair. Some times I even forget I'm bald. But recently, two pretty large patches of hair began growing on my head. They look like bruises and I shave my head now every day. It is really annoying and I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of these patches for good without shaving every day. Does anyone else have this problem?

This happened to me too. I just kept shaving once-twice a day until enough hair was growing to stop this cycle. I think it's pretty common among us.

Did enough hair start growing that you could let it grow out?

Yep. I'm about 70-80% regrowth. Now instead of shaving I apply a product called Dermatch and top it with Xfusion and hairspray. I can do it all in about 5 minutes now that I've been doing it daily the past 4 months.

My hair actually starts to grow back within days of losing it but it grows back white and very fine. As time goes by it becomes thicker but stays white. I haven't had any dark hair come back to me though. Does anyone else have the almost instant white regrowth?

I had the white regrowth for almost 2 years. The pigment finally came back for the most part.
Talk about going white overnight...

Hi Scott K, yes I have the white hairs too and i tried to grow them out to see if they will go dark again, but not much luck there, and my white hairs didn't become thicker either. The funny side is I only have the white hairs on my head (I have patches on my arms and legs to name a few places) and nowhere else.
