i wasnt that bothered about the one on the bk of my head,but the new ones are near the front.
also is it normal to be sore? every time i wash my hair or brush it loads comes out.
also do wigs only look good if you have no hair.

Wigs can look good whether or not you have your own natural hair. It's all in finding the correct style and wearing the wig properly.
Lysa, I went through the same thing. Cortisone injections by a dermatologist made my hair grow back. Look into that.
I did injections for the the first few months only, and eventually my hair grew back. Do whatever makes you feel good and try to stay positive. And, yes you can wear a wig when you have hair but you need to consider factors such as whether you will completely cover it or let some mix in with the wig. It helps to go to a wig seller as they have lots of styles to try on. Good luck!
Gday Lysa welcome to this site..I have barely been on here for 5 mins myself..I have thinning hair..apparently everytime i say that someone with full hair jumps up and says SO HAVE I..yeah right! Well 2 weeks ago discovered a bald patch, and I know there are more coming.. Had a huge list of blood tests, results will be given next week. If its Alopecia Aerata which is what i have they say that you can get cortison injections and creams. I have yet to learn more fm the Dermatologist. You must go to the NHS and find someone who deals with this problem and go and see them pronto. Oh and i have this weird tingling sensation, which i never had on my head before..i think it must be related. Thank god for wigs, lady gaga, beyonce and the like, coz wigs look hot today.
