Hello everyone i've had alopecia areata all of my childhood and abouit 8 years ago i lost all my hair. I'm still struggling with wearing a wig or just going out bald. I want to get to a point that I can go out with or without it, but I dont like to draw attention to myself . Only my husband and a few close family members have seen or even know I am bald. How do you handle the questions and stares when you are out?

Hello everyone, I have had alopecia since I was 8yrs old. Now Im 35yrs old. At 8 the doctors were unsure as to what I had. They figured I was just stressed. I quickly lost all my hair and had to wear a wig, and learned that kids can indeed be cruel. Most of my 20's I had hair with the odd bald patch showing up. Towards the end of my 20's to current things went downhill again. Being AU now the only time I use a razor is to clean up the patchy hair on my head. 2 week anniversary of shaving my head.

Hi Everyone,
I"m new to this site and am still learning my way around. I saw the name of this group and thought, this is definitely ME. I was diagnosed with AA when I was 7. My hair fell out, grew back, fell out until about 4th grade. By middle school I had AU. It was very traumatic. My hair regrew for a bit in HS, enought for me to get a weave which prompty tore the rest out. I've worn wigs basically my whole life. I haven't had any hair growth in 20 years (i'm 40 now) and while I am ok with having AT, for the most part, I still have some insecurities. I've been married 7 years and while my hubby knows, he has never seen me without a wig. That's CRAZY. Anyway, looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hello everyone I have had Alopecia for 31 years. I grew up with from the age of 12 years of age. It started off being bald spots just above my neck then my entire back of the neck hairline went up above 2 inches. By the time I was 15 I was wearing wig pieces/extensions etc. Upon turing 22 I lost so much hair in places I had to wear a wig. It would always grow back and I could discontinue wearing anything for a while. I had a surgery at about 37 and after that I went to full A totalis. I did manage to grow back my eyelashes and pubic hair but still have not grown my hair back at all. I now wear full lace wigs all the time. I get some people looking at me strange at work when I come in with my new do but I just keep it moving and do what I need to do to get through the workdays. Isn't funny how people would talk about other people when they are not looking up to their best potential via (the people), but when I come to work well groomed, confident, working hard (the people) still have strange looks on their faces. People are just that way.
