alopecia patches on women


by: Jo on Wed, Jun 27 2007

Hi I am a 32yr old Southland Mum & I have been getting this very embaressing condition since about the age of 13. It comes and goes but mostly stays. I’v seen the Dr when a hairdresser 1st told me of a bald patch 1 day. Now the patches get alot bigger about size of a large dessert spoon on both sides of my head, behind my ears, on top of my head , a couple of smaller patches else wear as well as half of an eyebrow.

As far as I know it can be caused by stress, which I try not to do. I have lovly naturally curly thin hair which looks great when I can leave it out but mostly have to tie it up strategically to try to hide the patches. Some people have been very insenitive to me when they see it, so the more I /they can see it , the more I unhappily think about it. Is there anyone in a very similar situation to me? I would love to find out alot more about it and how I can help myself & anyone else.

    I’m not a doctor and I am not qualified to diagnose but some of the things you’re describing remind me of a cousin who had lupus She had hair loss, weird sensitivity stuff and dizziness [more..]

    I am writing this in case someone out there may have had a similar experience. The hospital and doctors cannot find out what is wrong with me. I was told to “wait until something blows up”. Great, huh? [more..]
