My Story and My Advice

I’ll try and make this short and straightforward.I first noticed my hair growth issues when I was a teen ( 16-18 est). I don’t grow arm or leg hair normally like the other guys.

After I lost my eye brows and beard I started getting patches on my chest.... Got me thinking. Did I always have Alopacia and it just didn't fully take effect.
