I currently am using DCP .05% for nearly 2months, little improvements(used it ages ago too and had a full recovery) tho this time nothing definite of yet. I heard my friend had a very good result with hydrocortisone cream 1% so thinking of adding this with my treatment... :)

IT WORKED, praise the LORD :)

About 6 months ago I was diagnosed with PCOS - Polycystic ovary syndrome.  About three and a half years before that I started losing my hair in patches and it resulted in total loss all over my head.  This happened twice within one year.  Prior to that I went off birth control and was hospitalized for a terrible staph infection.  All my life I have suffered from Chronic Fatigue which was flaring up during my alopecia outbreaks.

Since then I am happy to report and…

In February I was diagnosed with FFA however I noticed my hair falling out in great numbers last summer. In early January before I was officially diagnosed I began an experiment with diet. I tried an elimination diet for about six weeks and around the third week I noticed my hair loss decreased dramatically. I have done some online research about this and found out that gluten may be the culprit to my autoimmune disorder likely triggered by stress (since I've gone back to school at the age…

I'm currently 16, yeah I'm a teenager that's what makes this worse. I struggle constantly with everything going on in my life and I blame it on alopecia. I wonder and ask God everyday why me? Why put more stress on me other than a normal person. I wish people wouldn't judge me or look at me different. I want my hair back, I would feel so normal and happy. I'm not gonna lie but I blame alopecia for everything, I guess you can call it a cover up, but it's one thing I believe that makes me…

First of all may I say "Ouch" when it comes to the injections in your head. I am going to a new dermatologist for the first time and am looking for other solutions besides getting shots in my head. As these were very painful it was the first and last time I will be getting injections in my head.

Any thoughts or suggestions on other treatments and or alternative treatments! Please get back to me! I would rather be bald than go through that…

I had been bonding for 3 years and just recently noticed that when I detach/reattach I no longer have to shave the top of my head.  I always thought that one day, maybe when I retire I'd stop wearing hair and just cut my hair really short like Annie…

Hello,

I live in Phoenix Arizona and I'm searching for an opportunity to become more involved in the Alopecia community here in AZ. I have had a very positive experience growing up with Alopecia and I want to share my experiences with others in my community. I have developed a way of thinking that I think may benefit someone struggling with Alopecia, male or female. I can even share some of my experiences with anyone who wants to hear them. I would love to at least be someone…

JUST SOME WORDS

Don't wanna be the victim,

Don't wanna play the part,

My false sense of self is tearing me apart.

I'm done telling myself lies

I'm done hearing myself cry,

The way i lived my past wont be the way that I die.

I didn't waste those years for nothing,

I didn't give'em away for free,

the things I've hated about myself,

they aren't really me.

I guess I did it to see how bad it hurt,

I guess I lit it to see how bad it…

I decided to share my story about my hair loss with my students this year and with my high school volleyball team that I coach.  The result was complete understanding and empathy from all of the students.…

Does anyone know how long they last for, how many years?

So I have read the horror stories on here about what happened when someone had informed their significant other about their alopecia. Since 2008, I have been inflicted with AA and having really done much dating until recently. I have been wearing wigs and sometimes it gets rough and frustrating due to some of the constant pain wigs can create

Well now I find myself in a weird and unfamiliar place. I am currently dating a great guy who seems to be genuinely into me. He has questioned…
