Hello Friends,



Sorry I have not been able to check in for a while..I have been busy with life trying to figure things out and make sense of things..So I am guessing I had a good run for about 3 months where my hair did not fall out and now it is back to its ugly self...My hair is starting to fall out again..Seems like it may either be in the same area or damn near close to that area. I now have 3 new small bald spots instead of just the one I had...I also now discovered that I have… Continue

I hope everyone is ready for summer fun..lol..I have been concentrating on school and not so much worrying about my hair because truth is I can't change it..It has been seven months from the day I discovered my bald spot and life has changed because of this AA. I have become a better person, more understanding, and compassionate, especially in my nursing practice..So, I graduated and I am just waiting on taking the state boards and am very excited..I remember when this first happen it stole my… Continue

Hello My Alopecian friends...Well, it has been seven months that I have been diagnosed with AA and I am doing my absolute best to cope with this horrendous disease that has stolen all of my ambition, but it is getting better..I continue to get injections because the hair is growing back in most areas, but now it has come to a halt of growing back and some regrowth hair is now disappearing as well..Not sure if the reason my hair is not growing back in three spots is because the Derm decided to… Continue

Hi all, I hope you are doing well..So I wanna give an uptake on my progress of my hair..My hair seems to be growing in in the spots that were bald and coalaced into one big spot due to the injections..Now it seems that since my hair is growing back I am getting new spots in the same area, but different spots..It also seems as though I have diffuse Alopecia on top of this AA..I am losing an enormous amount of hair and I am not sure where I am losing it from..Whether it be from the two bald spots… Continue

Cherish the ones you love and forget about the ones that judge you!!!! Remember you are beautiful no matter what..We as Alopecians have an advantage and disadvantage..Disadvantage= losing our beautiful hair; Advantage= knowing who deserves to be in your life and those who do not!!:) Hugsss xoxo...Have a safe and healthy holiday!!!

Hi all,

Hope you are doing well..It is time for the holidays and I have to say i feel alot better now than I did four months ago when I found my first patch...I am very happy to say that all my exams went well and I am pretty psyched about it..My exams are over and now I have time to relax and take some me time..Yay..lol..Now for my hair, although I have growth in all of my patches my hair still conitnues to fall out and I am just suspecting it truly does have to run its course…

Hello All, I just wanted to give an update on my life and progress lol...I am sorry I have not been on much, I have been trying to focus my time and energy on finals cause they are kicking my butt, but I am doing well...Not much change on my bald patches as of today except for regrowth in the middle of all, but one of my patches..I have also discovered that since my hair is starting to grow back in the patches that I have severe diffuse shedding now which I hope is because my telogen hair is… Continue

Hi guys, I have been trying to focus on school rather than on my hair seeing as finals are right around the corner...I am absolutely miserable about my hair, I think I have been in a state of denial for quite some time now...I am not sure I can find my way with this...I fly off the handle to friends and family without even wanting to and feel bad afterwards..I know there is nothing in this world they can do to help me, but I dont even know what I wanna hear anymore, I mean words that will even… Continue

Hi all, Just a quick question...Can it mean I may go AU or AT if my eyebrows no longer hurt when I pluck them, I am missing some parts of my bottom eyelashes, and have bald patches on my legs...Just curious...Thank you

Hi guys, Hope all is doing well...I cant say the same for myself..As soon as I think everything is going to be ok I slowly and progressively get more and more depressed when I have to do my hair in the morning... I have been using the olux solution for over a month now and have no seen any results what so ever, not sure how long it takes to see results, but my hopes of my hair coming back are just diminished..My spots continue to get bigger and spread out more evryday, and the hair lose is… Continue

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well...So, here goes lol..I spoke to a woman last night to get my biopsy results from the pathologist report and it turns out she did not give me to much info, except for that I had scarring alopecia..I begged the women to give me more information, but was told that she was unauthorized to tell me what my result was due to her not understanding what the report said ha...Ok, so the women tells me you have to come in and speak to the dr tomorrow morning so she can… Continue

Hi All, I am so depressed and con not stop crying..I am so down that I can hardly write this..My first part of the results was that I do in deed have alopecia, but it is a scarring kind and that my hair will never grow back..The other part is also devastating where she told me the dr would have to tell me the rest of the report..Scared is not even the word as to what I am feeling right now..



Has anyone been told that they had scarring alopecia and the biopsy was not conclusive or had… Continue

Hi All, I just updated my photos and have shown my three spots now...They seem like they are coalacing into one big spot, how horrible is that?!!..It is so very depressing to look in the mirror anymore to try and fix my hair..I am tired of looking at myself with a scarf on..I feel ugly..I am not use to myself like this..I decided to stop using the olux foam and just let it take its course..The olux foam seems to make my head irritated and red..It seems as though when i put the foam on it stops… Continue

Ok guys, so here I am today freaking out once again..I just called to see if my results for my biopsy are back cause now it is going on 2 weeks and a half...The women told me that my biopsy is still pending, and asked her specifically what they are looking for, and she said alopecia..I continued to ask her what else they look for and did not give me specifics, but told me that they look for a few things...My dr never told me exactly what they look for as well, which really bothers me..Does… Continue

Ok, so more and more of my hair is coming out and I am getting scared I am going to lose all of it...I have been using the olux foam as the Dr prescribed and it does not seem to be helping...It has been a month and see no change or regrowth, in fact I have gotten two more spots..Has anyone ever experienced more itchying and hair loss while using the Olux foam? Also, head seems to be red and irritated more so than before, not sure if it's from the foam or just my body...Around the patches I can… Continue

Ok, so It has been one month since I discovered my bald patch and found two more there after very quickly..I have used CLOBETASOL for 14 days and stopped for a few, but within the time of stopping my hair would fall out in clumps..I started to use it again, but I noticed my head is red and itchy and will not give..Why is my bald spots red and itchy? I see some correlation between my head being red and itchy and my hair coming out in clumps..When will it stop being red and itchy? I think if it… Continue

Hi all, I hope you are all doing well...I just wanted to write a blog to tell all my fellow Alopecians that I thank you so very much for all of your support, I deeply appreciate it...On the night of Sep 13th I was in hysterics not knowing what to do or what was happening when I found a bald spot on my head, but searching the web in hopes to find others to support and gain some support back has been a god send..I intially could not hold back my tears in fear of losing my hair and wanting to run… Continue

Hello all,



I am a 27 yr old nursing student in my last yr of school for a bachelor degree which I thrived for my whole life...I just recently found a bald spot on the top of my head about the size of a silver dollar, than 2 weeks later found two more, one the size of a dime and another the size of a nickel..Although I am a nursing student I have never heard of alopecia areata, I know how bizarre..Anyway I am struggling to get through this disease and it has drained my ambition, and… Continue
