I have the VERY sore, almost bruised feeling (like I had a tight ponytail in all day, but didn't) and itching with my hair loss too! No one (so far) has been able to tell me why or offer anything that helps- other than shaving it all off, but I…

Mine burned like crazy, until it was all gone. No fun!

I have some redness, inflammation, and a bit of oiliness near the small patch. It's hurts to scratch it.

Connie Reed replied to Pamela's discussion 'Pain with hairloss?'
The same thing is happening to me. My head hurts right before the hair falls out. It stings and feels bruised. It also feels real course to the touch. I was just diagnosed with AA in September, 2009. I have been putting bags of frozen peas on my…

I also have pain/burning where my spots are. My scalp hurts like I have a constant ponytail in -yet, my hair is really short now. I know of others that have experienced it as well, but for some reason my derm couldn't understand why. She told…

I too have been having a burning sensation and itching where I am losing my hair.
Michelle replied to Connie Reed's discussion 'Coping?'
I'm new at this too, Connie. not a fun surprise, is it? I just have one spot so far (knock on wood), but it is quite visible, right at the crown of my head, about nickel sized. The dermatologist gave me cortisone cream, but would like to start…
Jennifer replied to Connie Reed's discussion 'Coping?'
Hang in there Connie!!! I've had alopecia since I was 5, but within the last 2 years I have almost lost all of my hair. It was never this bad before. It is an up and down roller coaster. Keep your head up and do talk about it!! Dont keep it…

Hi Connie, join the club (one I never wanted to belong to either). I'm going for shots, using minoxidil (Rogain) and Olux foam. I have no idea if or when all of this has any effect. I've got patches all over but everyone seems to think I…
Jaime Murphy replied to Connie Reed's discussion 'Coping?'
I'm so sorry to hear that your alopecia is causing you pain! When my hair fell out I didn't experience any of that, but when new hairs grow in I get SUPER itchy. It also seems as though your alopecia is coming on fast and furious...this is…

- Hello and welcome, Connie!
I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf."
Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
