I just found out my sister has alopecia and I started crying and I can’t get over the fact that it’s happening to her especially since it’s uncurable. Am I over reacting by crying and worrrying a lot?
alopecia is when you start to lose hair and create bald spots.. it happens because your immune system is attacking the hair follicles but there’s not really a specific reason on what causes it.

Can anyone suggest the best haircut for someone with alopecia areata and thin hair? I have long hair(past my shoulders) and I want an updated look. Just need a hairstyle that will look good and cover any bald spots I will get.
Thanks

I have an 8-year old daughter and I noticed this for a while, but when I brush her hair or pull it back she would have bare spots. As if there isn’t enough hair to cover her scalp or in other terms bald spots. Based on her nutrition and being picky on eating, I try to give her vitamins on a daily basis, but I sometimes forget. And I noticed that she brushes her hair after she takes a shower and she doesn’t brush out the tangles before she goes to bed. I’m not sure what the cause is, but what I do know is I wanted to get suggestions on products that can help stimulate the growth of her hair so she can can have that full head of hair and no bare spots.

Let me know your suggestions, thanks!

I’m 37 and for the last 3-4 years I noticed my hair is not as thick as it used to be. Now I see little bald spots, about the size of this "O" in my head. Some of the spots also look like cuts and the hair follicles are gone. Can I get it to grow back?

I don’t have any bald spots or anything but I’ve been losing a LOT of hair lately, probably from combination stress and thyroid disease. I’ve just noticed that it falls out in massive proportions and it’s thinned out quite a bit. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good hair restoration products that really work. Please let me know of your experiences and recommendations. All answers are greatly appreciated.

I noticed a receding hairline but no major bald spots. Im 20 years old and i had chicken pox a few months back. My hairline has receded more from the left and is now receding gradually from the right. Is this a symtom of male pattern baldness at an early age or is it beacause of the chicken pox? And also, Can my hairline be fixed with any natural ingredients with no side effects?

I went to the dermatologist april 29th and she gave me steroid shots in my bald spots and prescribed me a gel to apply 2 times a day and prednisone to take for the next 16 days. You think this will work? Any suggestions on making hair grow?

My four year old has alopecia. I’m not sure why, but now he has bald spots on his head, and I’m searching for solutions. Does anyone know of anything that could help? Some medicine that you know of that might actually work? I know there are wigs, but considering he’s four…I’m not sure he’d be one to wear a wig. Please help.

I am 17 and I have alopecia areata. Right now I have many bald spots on the bottom half of my head. I am so sick of having straight hair, it’s ugly if I just shower and go. I definatly don’t have enough time everyday to style it so I really want to get a spiral perm. Would It make my hair problem worse?
