So i got a HEADBLADE (THANK GOODNESS THERE IS A COMPANY IN SOUTH-AFRICA THAT SALES THEM) I've been shaving my head for the last 2 +… Continue

Michael Andrew Anderson said… - Hey, Thanks for the message. I was so pleased to find this site, now i can finally chat to people that share my condition! I have had alopecia for three years now and i'm starting to feel i should embrace it rather than be ashamed by it, but I still have yet to encounter another individual with it. I hope to become more involved, and i'm planning to upload a profile picture soon...
Sincerely
Michael

- Hi Michelle.
I have only recently signed up for on this site don't really know how itworks.Personally i have had AA since i was 8 and AU since bout 13. Up until recently i have never met another person with AA or AU let alone to know there is someone quite close by. To say I am open about it is not true it is easy to tell people who have it or understand it but i have never told anyone that i have it and am a master at hiding it.
