Well I am 30 years old and I have just been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. I am pretty upset over it, and my doctor hasn't really given me any details on what happens next. Will I get more spots? Lose all my hair? I also have very thin hair in the front, and it's thinning by the day. I am looking for answers and hope to meet some new people that share the same thing.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?

Hi Robin,
I know how hard it is! I have had alopecia for about 30 years. After I became the spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, a lot of women were needing my help and support, so I wrote a book called, "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" It might make you feel better about everything. Check it out on my page -- and WELCOME!
