Hi Mackenzie i can totally relate to what your feeling i have regrowth all over the top of my head, but also have bald spots at the back near the nape of my neck and behind my ears.I was wondering if you ae getting steroid injections as that is what i am recieving .I Know that the reason my hair is coming in is because of the shots i am hoping that my system will go back to normal and that my hair will come back on its own.I have faith in God that it will.I am originally from Scotland although i live in New York now. My mum has all of my family praying for me and i also belong to a smal church here and i have decided to ask everyone there to also pray i will keep you in prayer and hope that things will get better. Its difficult to stay positive all the time after all we are only human. LOTS OF LOVE AND BEST WISHES ARE BEING SENT TO YOU.

Hi Mackenzie!! I know sweetie that it's hard!!! I think oftentimes to myself that it must be the hardest on the young ones like yourself. You vent all you need to hon. Noone here is going to judge you! I love you Mackenzie, and I hope someday to meet you face to face. "Beauty is as beauty does", my Granny used to say. That is so true! True beauty comes from within...from our hearts, our love for others, and how we show that love outwardly. Beauty is in the warmth of a smile, the embrace of a hug, or a soft touch. The very essence of a person. You, my dear, are a very, very beautiful young lady, both inside and out! I wish there was some magic words I could say to make that hair come back, but we both know I can't...but lean on your friends here, hang in there, and know that you are so precious and so loved...and noone else could ever take your place. Only you are you...and you were created special and unique in every single way. GIANT HUGS hon!!! ((((Mackenzie))))) xxooxx

After it happens to you more than twice, you get used to it and give in to the new choice.

Aww. Thanks everyone .
I got alopecia when I was 8 or 10 years old . It was after my mom got it . It started above my ears and I got more spots when I was 12 . I'm not taking anything right now . I'm going to go with the wig . Thank you all for being so supportive . I love you all ! ♥ - Mackenzie

Hi young lady!! The beauty of wigs is that they give you lots of options without damaging your hair. Since we don't have any to damage, it's still nice to change your look as often as you please. Stay strong my young beauty and love as much as you dare! Remember you are beautiful no matter what! Peace and understanding to you and your family, and all your friends.

to Nicky...One time I got my hair cut with the mirror BEHIND ME..big mistake for me. I think having your wig styled 'out of sight' would be WAY WORSE!!! SO sorry!!!
