About Me:
First brief bout with alopecia areat at 16 years old. 44 now with active alopecia for last 4 -1/2 years.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older
I had a few spots when I was 16. I was in remission for 25 years and then at 41 my alopecia came back with a vengence. For the past 3-1/2 years it's been non-stop sheddin. At times I have over 20 spots at a time in various stages of baldness or regrowth. I use cortosone foam and get injections every 4 - 6 weeks with fairly good success. Up until October 2010 I was able to cover things up pretty well using Dermmatch to cover up my spots. In October I lost about 40 percent of my hair, not including the spots that were already there. It's already coming back back. I have a lot of peach fuzz, and the shedding has slowed down a bit. I am now wearing my headband fall or my new Raquel Welch wig most of the time. I prefer to go "commando" as much as possible. I am involved in martial arts and fitness and can't wear supplemental hair when I'm working out. I pray every day for spontaneous remission.

Louise,
Thanks for sending me a friend request. My 8 year old son was diagnosed with AA in December and we are dealing with it! So far we are able to be very creative with his hair cut and keep it covered. He goes for monthly steroid injections and we use a topical too.( he hates the injections but he has had some regrowth) I wish I knew what to expect for him but as I have learned it is just too unpredictable. Thanks again for the friend request.
