Hello everyone,my name is Abby, and I have AA(self diagnosed) My mother and brother have both had bouts of it,so I'm daily certain it is genetic for me. I currently have two spots on either side of my head,both are about the size of a silver dollar. I don't know how long I've had these spots...I have(knock on wood) pretty thick hair,so my first spot wasn't noticed until I was a haircut.
My first question is...does anyone else have a problem with itchy/burning scalp? For the past week or so,I've felt that my scalp is on fire at times.
Secondly, I am absolutely terrified that this will progress to totalis. I've read that the odds of that are relatively slim,but still...
Thirdly(and I haven't been able to get a defenitve answer on this)is it safe to dye/bleach your hair with AA? I'm a natural blonde but currently have pink hair, the problem is that the bald spot near my crown is getting bigger,and becoming much more noticeable with such bold colored hair. I really want to bleach it back to blonde.
Any advice or personal experiences you can give would be most appreciated.

Hi, Abby.

1. I have read that some people have itchy, burning, tingly scalps in some posts on here.
2. No one can predict AA's course. Time, possible regrowth, or severity.
3. There us a discussion about dyeing one's hair on here. Personally, I wouldn't do anything to aggrevate the problem.
Hi abby. What happened to ur mom and brother? Did they lose all their hair?
