Men losing eyebrows now

Dear all,

I just discovered this webpage.

I am AU for about 2 years. And just recently I started losing my eyebrows... one of them is half gone...

I feel as if it is easier for ladies to draw eyebrows... But it sounds really different to me, perhaps, harder to digest as a man...

Can you please advise me what to do or link with other men with similar problem?

Thanks!

Alopecia areata regrowth

I have had Alopecia Areata ever since i can remember. I think my mom first noticed bald patched when i was 2 years old. Well they never became big enough for me to really notice until 2011. In 2011, i lost about 50% of my hair and have been getting steriod shots in my head every 4 weeks. Its been a roller coaster really...It would regrow and everything would be good then it would get way worse again. Oct, 2016 i lost about 60% to 70% of my head, i shaved it. By the way,....BEST decision ever…

I have Universal Alopecia and like everyone who has this problem I suffer from prejudice and low self-esteem, I am thinking of doing the micropigmentation of the scalp. I wonder if anyone here did? Worth it? How did people start look?

For alopecia universalis, try permanent make up and pigmentations tatoo

A friend of mine who offer the permanent make up and is a tatoo artist offer me to try to ' draw' pigmentations on my head and it's look fabulous. This kind of service are mostly offer for bald guy but if you are patient and if you handle well pain it's totally worth it. I think it's look fabulous and people stop asking me if i have cancer ( what i personnaly hate very much).

( English is my second language sorry for the orthograph ! )

Give me a rash to cure me? Anyone know anything about this procedure?

I also did a allergy test and it showed that I was allergic to dairy right die yellow diamond blue dye. I have been so good and my hair grew back a little bit . But it's gone again The…

Why The World Needs A Bald Princess

Once upon a time, fairytale princesses all looked the same. They were thin despite eating all of those rich castle feasts. They had long flowing hair, big almond-shaped eyes and fair skin. They had full, pouty lips and they never had smudged makeup or bad hair days. The only difference between any of the princesses out there was their hair color.…

Xeljanz XR

Today is my first day to try Xeljanz XR. I will try and blog about my experiences to hopefully help others. About me, I'm mid 30's married with a young child. Lost my hair all over (Universalis) twice in my lifetime, this being the second. The first was when I was 11 years old. Miraculously it all grew back after 3 years of no hair except my arms and most of my legs which I did not complain about one bit. I was pretty much alopecia free for over 20 years and NEVER thought it would happen…

My introduction to Alopecia Universalis

Hi

I have had Alopecia for about half a year now, and am still not sure how to feel about it. I am also not used to blogging. I have however been wondering how others experience the disease, and due to this decided to put my short experience with it up here for others to compare with.

Figuring out what being twenty-four is all about

Hi, all!

I am new to this.. blog posting that is and I thought this would help not only myself after 10 years of knowing I have Alopecia, understand it, but others as well. I was told about having Alopecia in Middle School, for me it started out as small quarter size spots on the top of my head. I began to clip my hair back to hide them and soon after started seeing my dermatologist to seek treatment. Treating small three spots is easy... applying my topical treatment daily…

Shocked

First time someone asked me "is that a wig" while chilling in a pub
A stanger non the less
And it made me upset more then it should and instead of standing up saying I have alopecia and explaining, I was just sat there embarrassed thinking OMG it looks like a wig
First time ever been asked and feel a bit rubbish and upset. Near left the bar but thought why should I.
The wig does not define me
