- About Me:
- My (head) hair started falling out after a stressful time during my last year of university, three years ago. I have been to many many doctors, most of whom were very unhelpful, and was told that sometimes 'it just happens.' I have recently been to a dermatologist who said it was chronic telogen effluvium + genetic influence. I was offered a range of possible treatments but looking at the side effects...no I don't want that! Now I guess i'm just waiting till it looks really bad and then i'll shave it all off!
I am currently studying, I love photography and going out with friends, travelling, reading...
This whole thing has given my confidence a bit of a blow, but I am determined not to let it take over me :) - Do you have alopecia?
- Telogen effluvium
- Are you age 18 or older?
- Yes - I am 18 or older

Oh and I agree I found it hard to talk to friends about it...I guess you just have to jump in there and tell them...if they are your friends they will be supportive:)
