Just diagnosed

Hi everyone. Just diagnosed this week. I'm freaking out. I'm 39. I have a few vitiligo spots pretty small on back. But two weeks ago I noticed spots on my whiskers bare. And now have many more spots on my face. Visible on face. I itch all over body. Worried it's spreading to entire body. Notice thinning in scalp. Freaking out. Got a steroid cream for face spots. So just curious if I'm gonna lose everything or not?

No one can say how severe your case will be, though most people do have complete regrowth within several months.  However, many on this site do have complete scalp and/or body hair loss ... this is not common.

Try to find a dermatologist with experience treating Alopecia.

Itching is not a symptom of alopecia. See a dermatologist to make sure you are not fighting something else.
