well this morning while I was blow drying my hair I came across another spot. This one is much smaller than the one on the back of my head. It's about dime size and on the front, left, right behind my temple. It's small enough that it can be covered up, but the fact that it's there really scares me. My next dermatologist appointment is in 2 weeks. I haven't decided if I really want to do the injections again..I'm mostly unsure because I don't want to waste the money if they aren't going to…

It's been a week since I found out I have Alopecia Areata and just over a month since I discovered the bald patch on my head. During the first couple of weeks while I was waiting to see the dermatologist, I spent practically all of my time researching possible causes of patchy hair loss. It came down to Alopecia Areata as the most likely cause, followed by the mirena iud, some kind of vitamin deficiency, hormonal imbalance, or even cancer.. I was in a panic, but I was determined to find out…

Yesterday I got a confirmed diagnosis of Alopecia Areata and my first treatment of steroid injections in my scalp. I discovered the bald patch on the back of my head, January 31st. I ran my figers through my hair and felt bare scalp, so I went to the bathroom to check it out and I had a patch the size of a 50 cent piece. I checked my pillow, the shower and every where I could think to look and found a few hairs, but nothing out of the ordinary..I don't know how I could have lost that much…
