The Itch It was just an itch! Nothing else...the hair grew back in that spot - God, I'm getting so paranoid - but when something like alopecia happens to you previously, I guess it's understandable... Hope you all had a happy new year... Indigo x x

I felt an itch in my head and well - I started to itch it, lol. :pensativo: It was to the front, it was itching a lot, but there was no bump, so I took a comb and parted through, to see what the problem was. I was horrified. Because there is a circular patch, spreading outwards from where it...

Winter's back! Yay!!!! Hi all, I get the feeling this is a one gal show, cos I don't seem to get many replies...still. It's comforting to post messages, I guess. Well. The summer came. Months of agonising over my 'hair' and pulling it to cover patches and it was just miserable...

Re: Wigs for AA Hi Tara - I don't know where you live, but I live in UK - the wigs that I have a called - "Cecilia" by Sleek and the other one was by Sensationelle - both have websites, and if you call them, they will provide you with the nearest outlet. Good luck - let me know how you...

Well, summer is here, and I'm at the bridge... Remember I said that I found two wigs that I was fond of, and when summer arrived, I'd cross the bridge of not being able to wear them when I get there? Well, summer is here...People don't understand when I say I'm dreading the summer...

Update... Well, the traction alopecia is still as it was - but the AA seemed to have cleared up by itself. I am very tempted to shave it all off, but for the funny shape of my head and the places where the TA is, it would still look funny. I have managed to find two wigs that I am fond of...

:roll: well... the alopecia areata has gradually healed itself over time there is hair over it, and it doesn't appear to be visible anymore. Is pleased about that. But...the traction alopecia - I have to resign myself to knowing that that will never grow back. I wish that I had known the...

I have no advice to give you, but I was just admiring your paragraph. Work of art, that lol :D

:oops: Somedays, it's embarassing...In the UK, it gets pretty windy, and after spending so long brushing/styling/combing what you have left in a certain way so that no one will see - up comes the wind, and just blows your world apart. I feel everybody is staring at me. I feel less of a...

:shock: from what I have seen of my own alopecia, I think areata appears to be circular in its state, and the diffuse one, all over. Having suffered both, I understand that you can suffer both simultaneously. So...don't discredit your doctors, but I think that sometimes in desperation, we...

:( There is a diary profile of a lady with AA, and mine is in pretty much the same spot. So where I would have let my hair fall to cover the sides, now, I can't because of the patch. Plus, my hair is afro hair, so it doesn't grow that long, which makes it difficult to deal with anyway. I...
