I was wondering do anyone has any system besides the hair lost dealiing with alopecia?

Hello, about 4 months ago i noticed my hair texture in the middle of my head had changed and when i brushed my hair a lot was falling out I had no idea what was going on but within 2 weeks i noticed a bald patch so i decided to see a doctor who diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata. I decided to go to a dermatologist last month who said i need monthly injections and to take biotin everyday. Within the last month my hair seems i've lost so much had that i decided to star wearing a lace front wig.…

Thought I would treat myself today as have over 50% hairloss but not my eyebrows of lashes...so I thought go to salon to try to make myself feel better...the salon said they couldn't do it as glue to strong!!dissapointed ...she offered me pedicure instead!!!anyone else had this???im sad x

I have struggled with alopecia areata my whole life, well since I was three. Now at 24 I feel that I have made peace with it and accept the uncertainty of my appearance. In the past few months I have developed totalis. Although I have accepted it and am trying to move on, my husband and 5 year old daughter do not know how to. My husband tries to be supportive and not affected by it, but he is and I can tell. It usually comes out in weird places, like critiques of my dressing, or his sudden…

Im new to this site.. I have been diagnosed with alopecia for 4 months now.  my whole side of my head is bald.  I went thru a very stressful event in my life in November.  Don't know for sure it that what caused it.  My doctor put me on drithrocream.  Didn't do anything,  Now starting yesterday I am on prednisone.  Sounds like it will work while you take it but fall out again.  Has anyone taken it and kept their new hair growth?

Hello everyone,

Well...I guess I'll just dive right in. I have alopecia areata...its mostly at the nape of my neck and goes up to the back of my ears...so...I haven't been able to wear the hair I have left in a ponytail in years. I usually wear wigs, weaves and extensions to hide my condition. Maybe a handful of people know about it...my family and closest friends...and they usually forget because I've learned to hide it so well...

Im happy I found this community where I will…

It seems like every year I go through this.  I'm always looking for a new look, however, it never seems to happen because I'm too scared of the fact that I have absolutely no hair on in my temporal regions, and I barely have any hair on my nape.  My friends always ask why I always have the same hairstyle. Or whenever we hang out they always touch each others hair, and I never let anyone touch mine.  It's really embarrassing, because I get so defensive. -sighs-  With the way things are now,…

After 10 years, this past weekend is the FIRST time that i have ever typed anything in about alopecia in on the search engine. I have accepted the fact that I don't have hair…and basically just lived with it. My mom has done research about it, but I haven't bothered to do so myself. In my mind if the less i knew about it, the more "normal" id feel. I was diagnosed in August of 2004. I had tiny spots sporadically on my scalp with one spot that was about the size of 2 quarters smack in the…

I am in the process of writing my book. It is like a hair autobiography (with pictures).  It is not a book about treatment.  Although I had to chuckle while writing to keep from crying, I can feel the healing in the process. Has anyone else already did this or have a journal they have keep over the years?

I am a self-publish author of 4  "how to" books and a BlogTalk Radio host of 2 shows. But this is the first one that is personal. I feel some apprehension for actually putting it on…

Has anyone ever used Biotin and if so what were the results?

This month, 5 years ago, marks the beginning of my journey into alopecia.  It was a brutal month in which hair was falling out by handfuls, far too many tears were shed and a time in which I travelled down into the darkest place I didn't even know existed.  It was brutal.  The finality of the hair loss occurred that June in which I was left with not a hair on my body and hit bottom.

I revisited some of my posts during the beginning, and they are hard to read without tears and yet that…

I don't want my hair to grow back and I know it sounds strange coming from someone who has had a head full of hair for 20 years. I was devastated when my alopecia really started kicking in. My hair started to regrow during my pregnancy. I have a partial left eyebrow, side burn, and hair in other places where I would rather it not be. I have grown to love my beautiful bald headed self. This is who I am now. I let go of trying to hold on to something that really doesn’t matter. Plus, I would…

Before being diagnosed with Alopecia i had never heard of it, so now I'm sitting here wondering how many people actually know about Alopecia and what exactly it is. I have noticed that there are quite a few people in the world with Alopecia. so if there is quite a few, why is it not very well known about. I was told by my doctor that mine is caused from stress, if i had been told stressing a lot would cause my hair to fall out i most likely would have prevented myself from stressing as much…

Hello, Alopecia World,

I never thought that I would be going through this, never in my life did I expect this. I recently turned 22 and I have been dealing with AA for over 11 years! It has been the most hardest and spirit draining thing I ever had to encounter. I am telling the truth I cried myself to sleep at night, and it hurt me to look at other women running their fingers through their hair....I was so weak from crying that I couldn't believe that I was still alive the next day!…

So went to a specialist that deals primarily with woman with hairloss. So this derm said that because of my age (43) and this being new to me that it has to do with hormones (tho my tests all came back normal) and Is putting me on Metaformin which helps with autoimmune!!!! And I only thought it was for diabetics!!! Guess I'll give it a shot. Anyone out there try this road yet?? Would love to know the results.

I have been reading some recent posts of members of this site who are watching their hair grow back--congratulations! It is a great feeling to see progress. I had my first major attack of AA in 2007 and lost about 70% of my hair. I wore a wig for a few months, and then it grew back pretty rapidly, and I was able to ditch the wig and add in extensions to even out the short areas.

During the summer/fall of 2007, I went to every doctor I could think of and had all sorts of blood work…

I need some advice I have now been suffering from alopecia for 3 years my condition has been up and down. But now im at a serious state my hair wont stop falling out and its getting to the point where im going to have none left. I'm scared of losing all my hair and being bold at the age of 16 I just need some advice on what to do and if there are any treatments out there that can help me. Most of the time I just feel like locking my self away and but I know I have to put on a fake smile and…
