I told my doctor that I was losing some hair on the back of my head. She said some people have a loss in the back like hair receding in the front. She never even looked at it. Just sat in the chair. I should have insisted on her looking, but I didn't know what I was dealing with. I found out by looking on the internet and questioning my hairdresser (had for 30 years), and she told me also what it was. I hope it grows back, but now I noticed another circle of hair loss. Hard to talk about.
Hi Barb, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
Hello and welcome, Barb!
Wow, some doctors are real losers! Sorry about your experience.
I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf."
Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
