General…

I guess I do get insecure about my alopecia. The stares that come with the bald patches. Instead of asking, people just stare. I wish they would just ask.

I don't mind sharing what I look like, patches and all. But with people I don't know; it can be a little intimidating. I rather wear my hat, wig, or scarf.

I took a picture of my head to see how it was and hikers.

I am looking to get to know either a nice man or a woman. Friendship is great and if it gets to be more than friendship that's fine, but, one step at a time. I am a very open and accepting individual, I don't judge. I am the kind of person that if it doesn't work or as a relationship I would love to remain friends.

I am honest and I hope you will be honest with me. I am here to listen and hope you'll listen to me.

“It has been said, ‘time heals all wounds.’ I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissues and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” – Rose Kennedy.

When I think about space and time, it reminds me of my past, my future, and who I am now. I think of myself and how others might view me. This is an internal way of interpreting the theme this year, but it seems to be the way I interpret every theme. For the past four years, I…

I've been dealing with Alopecia for a little over a year now. Some days are better than others. I've lost a good bit of my hair on the left side of my head mostly and i'm starting to see new bald spots on the right side very small right now but afraid they are going to get like the left. The left side is growing back after i started using the fluocinonide cream the doctor gave me but i feel like my hair is just thinning out more and more and more. I'm not sure if i'm just being over paranoid…

I believe that Alopecia can kill us on the inside and leave us a physical shell with a defeated spirit. It almost did that to me. We MUST nurture and pamper our emotional selves (well, too much pampering is bad of course, but go easy on yourself for at least three years) during the transition from possessing hair (and, no, I don't mean owning a wig lol) to not anymore - of course, that is, if we don't come up with a no-side-effects cure - which would be totally kick ass. Then, being bald…

U.S. toymaker Mattel created a “bald” friend of Barbie doll named Ella and donated a limited quantity of the dolls to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF).

However, the bald doll has created some controversy in the alopecia community because Ella is packaged with a wig on.

Some feel that it is not a real representation of a person with alopecia and…

I've had AA pretty much my entire life. When I was little I had a patches of hair that just never grew. That went into remission for a few years then came back when I was in high school. I've been doing scalp injections for the last decade probably. It keeps the AA in check, but I never have had full re-growth. My AA has always been pretty easy to cover up, until the last six months when I developed a patch towards the top of my head. My hair is noticably thinner (to me anyway) and I'm…

I just want to get my feelings out...I see people on this site especially parents asking what to do, and stuff...I don't know if I'd ever give good advice about it because we're all different, different strokes for different folks...

But I just wanted to say my peace...I've been full on bald since I was four years old. I was never normal well...I used to have a full head of curly black hair that I would never let anyone but my dad touch. I don't remember much of my years WITH hair as…
