Hello everyone. I am so happy to find this online community. I was officially diagnosed with alopecia areata today and spent a lot of time crying. I am not new to auto-immune diseases with having Hashimotos and Celiac's already. My bald spots literally came out of no where and now I am trying to get my mind wrapped around what this means for me. The doctor prescribed a steroid to put on my scalp, and would like to hear the communities experiences and opinion on this. Thank you
