"Yes... have you tried a face razor... an electric one, norelco maybe? Also, there are ones for shaving on the go, which I'll totally get when the time comes. Hope this helps."

"Very proactive Erika great to see someone getting on with life after Alopecia. Wigs are cool and so are the people who can wear them, you have to be pretty confident to wear a wig. How much is it going to cost."

I thought i was coping with this ok... i thought i was accepting it... but today was bad, we are going out to the bar tomorrow, and its the first time since i shaved my head. i barely wear my wig now because i hate the feeling of it so much, so i figured i could find something to wear to make it look amazing without hair.. but everything looks ten times better when i put my wig on... i picked out a dress, and then put the wig on and my friends said, and i also agreed, that it looks way…

Hi Erika ...thanks for the add. In regards to my tatt. No it actually didnt hurt. The one on my neck did hurt some, but all in all it wasnt horrible. I use to do injections to treat my alopecia and those hurt more than getting the tatts. I hope all is well with you.
