Hi... I seemed to have developed alopecia in my late 20"s. I seem to feel it occurred as a result of a navel piercing which I had problems with. I went to a herbalist who seemed to agree the navel piercing triggered something in my body which sent it into shock and caused my white blood cells to attack my hair folicules. Whatever the case, it is what it is.......
In any event, I can't complain I'm thankful I dont have cancer. I still would love my hair back.
Hi Jeannine, I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to Alopecia World. I have been living with Alopecia Areata since 1991 and know full well the struggle it can be. I look forward to getting to know you. Cheryl, Co-founder
