I have had AU since I am 9 I am now 30. I have always had seasonal allergies but as I am getting older I am developing food allergies but not your common food allergies. I have become allergic to certain fruits and nuts. If the fruit or nut is processed or cooked they don't bother me. I am guessing it is more an allergy to pesticides or what ever is sprayed on foods to keep bugs off or keep them fresh. Anyone else experience the something?

Ive had areata since I was 13 and am now 36. Ive lately become allergic to pollen, dust, a few trees, mod, hair dye and a few antibiotic. Don't really think it has to do with areata but it may.

My allergies started around the same time as my alopecia, and it has been getting progressively worse, the latest one is vitamin C in fresh fruit.

Hi All!

I have asthma and I am allergic to cats, dust, and pollen. All are adult onset and I had them before I lost my hair. Does anyone here have other auto immune disorders?

I have allergies that I've only discovered in the past year. I've had many surgeries all my life and now all of a sudden I'm allergic to surgical tape and pain killers. The tape literally melted my skin and the med made me feel like I had a severe case of the fleas so they gave me allergy pills to take with the pain meds. I also cannot contend with the smell of different chemicals now, which is a good thing. I'm not able to clean with anything except mostly vinegar and soda now.

I have many allergies, asthma too. Strangely, I'm allergic to some wigs. Eyes water, nose and sinuses dry out. Esp cheap wigs. Weird. I usually go wigless anyway.

Hello, I am new to  this canadian site. I have developed allergies in the past approx. year and a half. I've had to have many surgeries over the years and now all of a sudden I'm allergic to some pain drugs and surgical tapes which melt my skin,  lovely huh. It could be so much worse though. I count my blessings.

Hello Everyone, Not only do I suffer from Alopecia, I just discovered two yrs ago that I also suffer from Solar urticaria (I'm basically allergic to the sun). If I go out in direct sunlight, I burn, itch and break out in hives after about 3 mins of exposure. Not fun at all and I live in Florida and I love the sun!!! Urrrrggghhhh!!!!

My allergies are no trouble when there is a high pressure system
over my area. But when a low pressure system comes into town my
runny nose will not stop. Anyone else notice these changes with the weather?
