She is a very special little girl. She is a beautiful princess with big purple-blue eyes and pink heart-shaped lips! She wasn’t any ordinary princess; she was very special and an amazingly brave little girl! Ella was born with no hair, and this made her unique. She doesn't like the way she looks and hates looking into mirrors.



I wrote a book and illustrated it, to…

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…

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.

I am 46 years old and have always had lots of thick hair. During the summer 2016, my wife commented that i was loosing more hair than usual, and I too noticed the thinning of my hair. At…

who attend the clinical trail for Topical Ruxolitinib for AA? what is the result? when the report will be available? and who attend the clinical trail for Toptical Ruxolitinb for vitiligo? what is the result? when the report will be available?  thanks

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…

Hi there. I am new to the Alopecia world and i am finding it extremely difficult to come to terms with the condition i have been told i have :((

My name is Karalina and i am a young healthy 53 yr old woman who eats well and is a fitness enthusiast, outgoing and loves life and lives in London.

I have just recently been diagnosed with Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing Alopecia in October 2016, after having a biopsy taken. My symptoms started earlier in the…

If you are interested, I recently gave a TED talk in Richland, WA. It's about creating a document of self-definition.

Hope you enjoy it.

Hi guys!

Really nice to meet you all)) My name is Dasha and I first had AA when I was 11. It was closer to AU. I lived in Ukraine back then and of course docs didn't know what the alopecia means or how to treat it. So I tried  (literally) every possible treatment. Long story short I wore wig for 3 years in school. That was depressing. Since I'm from a small town and kids can be really mean to someone who is different.  

After 3 years my hair just started to grow back. Not sure…

One of the groups on AlopeciaWorld.com is called “Use Your Difference!" and it reminds me that there are many ways you can use your alopecia to help others.

For example, right here on AlopeciaWorld.com, you can make it a habit to send…

I just was curious if anyone had any knowledge about mixing the three of these treatments. I want to use lemongrass essential oil, but I also use a topical steroid and Rogaine treatments consistently. Does any one know if I should not try all three at once? Or if it doesn't matter because they won't affect each other? I am constantly left in this dilemma. Looking for answers.

Thank you

Hi, everyone.

I'm new to this website but I should have been on here a while ago. I am 22 years old, and I was diagnosed with a diffuse form of Alopecia Areata in August of 2015. I am writing because I just need support from others who have gone through, or going through what I am . No one around me understands what I am going through (and I don't blame them), but it is extremely difficult to get through it and talk about it with people who don't understand. My goal is to come to…

Before I share anything, I want to share my story. I've had alopecia since I was in elementary. I completely lost all of my hair in 7th grade. Ever since then I've been completely bald and after a while, fully embraced it. No longer wanting to grow my hair back. Ever since I got into college, I really loved the idea of nutrition and feeding the body what it truly needs which made me stumble upon a world renown Dr. who is one of the few that has researched alopecia. He has created a set of…

Alopecia has plagued my life for almost 7 years (I am 19 now). For the first two years after I was diagnosed the alopecia was extremely mild and also came and went. The only things that were affected were small patches on the back and sides of my head which quickly filled in. The Alopecia wasn't affecting me as much as it is now.

When I was sixteen, it started to get worse and more permanent. By the end of the school year I only had half an eyebrow on each side and a bit of loss on my…

Hi, everyone. I just found out I have FFA. Going through all the emotion that you all know about. Looking forward to connecting with this community. Wondering if there is anyone else out there from Denver. 

I wanted to make a post about this because I found a post here where one person found this product in Mexico and it had TONS of responses in the comment section asking on how to get it. Ive personally messaged the gal who said she bought it in Mexico and it seems shes not responding even though shes added me as a friend here.



I dont want to explain the whole low down on all the scientific findings of Xeljanz, but in short some people have found it to help regrow hair in cases of…
