About Me:

I am 30 years old and have alopecia areata. It started around 2 years ago. It started with my beard and quickly spread to my head. In the last few months it has spread to my eyebrows and eyelashes. Like many, I've taken different medicines and have seen different doctors. I'm still learning alot about this unusual condition. I've handled it pretty well so far but now asking myself the question "is this going to last forever"?

Do you have alopecia?

Alopecia areata

Are you age 18 or older?

  thank you. my eyelashes and eyebrows never left me completely but the seem to be hangin' in there. I have a few new sprouts of eyebrows. How long did it take before your new hairs turned into real hairs?
