Been good for 4 years- now it's back!!

I first felt an ich on the back of my head reach back to scratch it and felt the all to familiar - SMOOTH PATCH. Oh, Crap not again.

Yep, after some looking I have found two bald spots on the back of my head, about the size of silver dollars. Didn't even realize I was loosing it again until I felt the spot. It's not bad just makes me self concous when i'm walking outside and the wind is blowing. UGGHH, This is not what i really need right now, but such is life.

It's not fair or convenient, it just is, and today it goes between annoying to burning and itchy.

Here is a question for you all, I am loosing little white hard "seeds" in my hair. Bear with me for a moment, the are very small like the size of a black head, hard, white and stick out of the hair shaft at the skin level. NO It's not head lice, I've already had 3 dr.s look at it and it's not lice. But the dr's are not sure what it is either. They speculate it could be a result of the immune system attaching the hair follicle, forcing the sebaceous matter out of the folicle or it's skin dander or ???????
Have any of you had this either???

Just a question, thanks for the in put and have a great night.

I've found a few of those little things on some of my hairs as well. No clue what they are, but in the absence of information, I of course assume the worst and worry that may mean no regrowth in that folicle! I hope that's not the case!

I had those years ago, when first shedding hair. Now that I have gone to AU, then AT, with my brunette hair gone and just white wispy hair ringing my head, I get NONE of those white balls. Done, done, done. If the balls squish, your doctor's opinion is probably right. I do not think it is flaky dander.

Thanks for the input ~ it makes a lot of since that it's probibly the autoimmune thing. I've got so many going on right now that it's hard to keep up with what is causing what. But i'll let this one rest for now.

The two patches I've got are just bald, no white hairs yet. They are under a lot of hair so you can't se them easily so I'm not too worried, but we'll just have to wait to see what it decides to do next. Have a wonderful day ladies and Happy Saturday to you. Kat
