My first bout with Alopecia was about 8 months after the death of my father. I just turned 10 years old. We were still living in the old country, and I was treated with novocaine injections under my scalp in the area affected. Within 6 weeks, this new hair resembling a rough brush was growing like crazy.
Fast forward to 1972. In 1970 we came to the States with our mother, an American citizen. It was tough not knowing the language, not having the many friends we left behind, trying to…

I was at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago when a woman came up to me and asked how my chemo treatments were going. I was wearing a ball cap. When I looked at her, I saw that she was wearing a bandana and must have been going through chemo herself.
When I explained that I suffered from Alopecia Universalis, she looked me dead in the eye and said, "Oh, you're one of them," and walked away.
Now, I have been mistaken for having cancer and going through chemo many times, but it has…

My mind has been on alopecia and what is the best way for us to live life to the fullest while living with the condition?
I am convinced that this is more an emotional battle than a physical one.
Our struggles seem to have more to do with acceptance, will I find a mate? Will kids at school laugh at me? How do I tell my new date? Will my spouse still be attracted to me?
My thought is, if it was just physical then “slapping on” a new wig would…

Things have changed so much for me that most of the time I forget I even have alopecia. But I can assure you it has not always been that way.
I lost my hair 30 years ago. I have now lived my life more without my hair than with it. But at the same time, I clearly remember leaving the dermatologist's office and him telling me that I have alopecia and I…

I'm 71. In a few years I'll be bald half my life. I don't even think about it growing back. Most of my friends decided to stop colouring their hair when Co19 hit. Sometimes I feel I'm missing out on a rite of passage.
