All started with a patch and eventually I had around 7 patches.I had a lot,really a loooot of hair so even I had so many patches it was not visible.I started to use corticoid creams and although there was some growth it was really slow.I decided to have the cortisone injection and after two doses the hair start to grew really quickly.I believe the trigger was stress so I am trying to control that.At the moment most patches are completely…

Hello Everyone!

My name is Michelle and my 2 yr old was diagnosed with alopecia at the age of one. I was devastated I could not stop crying! I have two other family members who have it and they both have universalis and although she was diagnosed with areata deep down I knew it would turn to universalis and i was right because soon after my baby started loosing her eyelashes as well!!! I remember the dermatologist being so rude and cold when she told me my baby had this and all…

I have been battling alopecia areata since 2013. Through trial and error of many products and treatments I have finally found something that works and the results are unreal! That bad patch was the size of a dime in 9/2014 and grew to tennis ball size by 1/2015. Check out my page to see the before photos! These results were through the help of my dermatologist and a company with advanced holistic treatments that specializes in alopecia. 

NOW...Photo taken 8/2015. My patch that seemed…

Has anyone had any success with these vitamins? 

Fusion Chinese Vitamins. 'Women's Health' & 'Multi Vitamins' I'm also taking Hair Tonic from the same company. 

I have only just started taking them after seeing it on this news clip.

For many people the root cause of alopecia is inflammation in the body. I have had several rounds of alopecia. I have had many steroid shots and used several medicated creams. I was lucky enough to find a holistic doc who was well versed in autoimmune disease and the inflammation that contributes to alopecia. It has not been an easy route but it has been very rewarding. I have a full head of hair. It's taken me about 4-5 years to get to this point. I follow an autoimmune paleo diet-no…

I haven't been on the site for quite some time. I see that in my profile I described myself as the mother of a 4 year old. Well, he is now 6. I just received a bunch of email notifications from the site, so I figured it is probably a perfect time to share my story.

I was diagnosed when I was 4--one bald spot and it came right back on its own. The bald spots returned when I was 12. By the age of 14 I had to get my first wig. Trying time as it already is, those adolescent years were…

I guess I do get insecure about my alopecia. The stares that come with the bald patches. Instead of asking, people just stare. I wish they would just ask.

I don't mind sharing what I look like, patches and all. But with people I don't know; it can be a little intimidating. I rather wear my hat, wig, or scarf.

I took a picture of my head to see how it was and hikers.

I have been looking for something like this for a long time, without knowing it.  I have not had the courage yet to do the shave...but it's coming. lol

I am looking to get to know either a nice man or a woman. Friendship is great and if it gets to be more than friendship that's fine, but, one step at a time. I am a very open and accepting individual, I don't judge. I am the kind of person that if it doesn't work or as a relationship I would love to remain friends.

I am honest and I hope you will be honest with me. I am here to listen and hope you'll listen to me.

I am new to Alopecia world! I am 24 years old and I first started experiencing hair loss when I was 21. I have female pattern hair loss. I first started noticing a difference in my part, then it became general hair loss all over my scalp. I have seen many doctors and had many test done only to determine there is no medical help I can receive. My dermatologist has suggested cortizone shots in my scalp. I am wondering if anyone has experienced these and what the results are! Thanks you!!

     Hi my name is Scott.  I am hoping to connect with a girl who would like to meet and see where it goes.  Friendship first, hopefully followed by a relationship. I look forward to sharing a relationship with someone I can relate to on all levels.  Most people can not fully understand what we are going through.  Look forward to meeting you!

So I haven't written a blog post in quite a while, it seems that I had forgotten that my Alopecia even existed for a while! A lot of you will be thinking that that is the worst thing to do, because it always seems to come back with a vengance, but not this time.

I suffer from AA, but when my hair starts to fall out it all goes from my head, but then after a while I do get regrowth! So the last time I fully lost my hair was Christmas 2013, it is now the summer of 2015! Yes I have lost…

Hi all!

I decided today to look at some alopecia websites today for the first time. I had an idea that a lot of people have alopecia but I had NO idea how badly some people struggle with it. Reading some of the posts below put things into perspective for me so I decided to tell you all about my alopecia story.

I am now 20 years old and I have alopecia universalis. I got it around this time 3 years ago. It didn’t all fall out at once. First it was a slight loss of my eyelashes.…

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site as off yesterday but not new to alopecia unfortunately. I am a 24 years old male, currently living in the highlands of Scotland and I have had alopecia for roughly 6 years now. At first my alopecia started off as AA and then slowly developed over to AT where it currently still sits. I have had patches off slight regrowth but nothing major. Currently I have lost about 90% off my scalp hair, 50% off my eyelashes and my eyebrows are roughly…

Hi - I have FFA, took years for the doctors to take it seriously.

 I have had the cortisones, NSAID , and minoxidil  and have had reactions to first two. Moon face, neuropathy.

The hair just keeps getting thinner and I am 59. 

I hate the itching - it never seems to actually stop.

It is spoiling so much in my day to day life, worst days being stressed days and the ones with flares.

I am healthy eater, do like wine, not much dairy but its there.

I…
