I've had my eyebrows tattooed several times. Every time I've had it done, they use a gel/liquid to numb the area (like Lidocaine). It doesn't make your skin completely numb, but it does help. It will feel worst when they start, but…

Update: I went to get my color touched up on my brows. They had turned blueish. Added back to brownish red. This time? NO pain. Great experience! $250

Aimee replied to alyssa's discussion 'Any new treatments?'
I don't really think there's much we can do once we've lost hair to the point that we're bald! A lot of people have successful treatments for alopecia areata, but once it progresses, it doesn't seem to respond to treatment,…

- heyyy, my name is alyssa.
i am nineteen years old.
i live in new york.
i attend Penn State University.
I love to dance, dancing almost all my life
i would also like to become a photographer after college
i have had alopecia almost my whole life, when i was in pre-school my mom would send me to school in little hats so no one would ever see my bald spots. soon enough it went away and everyone loved my hair, i had long brown curly hair. when i was in the 6st grade i lost my eyebrows, everyone use to make fun of me, i got very upset because my parents never got int details about me having this, i thought that there was something wrong with me. as the years went on i tried looking up things online to learn on what Alopecia is. around march of '09, i got a big bald spot right on my hair line. the hair never grew back, but the spots got bigger. i now have no hair. i go threw moments in which i hate it, madd that i have this but soon enough, i think of many others who i have met and they are happy with themselves.
This isn't the worst thing that can happen.

Compare alopecia to an accessory
Posted on August 26, 2009 at 4:24pm 4 Comments 0 Favorites
i saw alopecia like the worst thing in the world and now i just view it as if its an accessory like jewelry, some people have gorgeous jewelry, some people have really ugly jewelry and some people don't have any at all. and when i wanna fit in and wear my jewelry i go to my room and put it on.

nose hair

this question is so weird.
i don't have any hair in my nose and since i'm allergic to so many things, i'm always inhaling things.
does anyone else have this problem?
if so, what do you do about it?

lorraine b. said… - the question is not rude, I don't want anyone to see me with out penciled on eyebrows and at least thick black eyeliner, i'm embarressed and feel like a freak. I couldn't imagine how my fiance could look at me after seeing me like that and ever be attracted to me or to go out in public and not be totaly embarressed to be with me. I know its a horrible way to think but i can't help it, its ingrained into my brain just as deep as everyother negative thought in my head that i can't get rid of. my alopicia is something that was NEVER talked about, even in my family, and still isn't talked about, I never even told my family that it went from AA to AU. I guess i never learned how to deal with any of it. How do you deal with it?
