Hi all, My story began when I was 11-12 years of age,(1979-80), this was the first time I suffered from Alopecia. Back then it was called Alopecia Nervosa Type A. At the time I was a child actor. An Australian film I did called Mystery Island (1980), shows the hair loss in certain scenes. My hair did grow back after a few years. Now 35 years later I am experiencing alopecia (areata) hair loss again. It seems to be far more aggressive although I did not shave my head back then as I have done on this occasion. All signs show that it is the areata variety although the hair loss is also on my chin and around my mouth,(the goatee area).
