♥ Alopecia areata is a condition that causes a person's hair to fall out. It is an autoimmune disease; that is, the person's immune system attacks their body, in this case, their hair follicles. When this happens, the person's hair begins to fall out, often in clumps the size and shape of a quarter. The extent of the hair loss varies; in some cases, it is only in a few spots. In others, the hair loss can be greater.

♥ On rare occasions, the person loses all of the hair on his or her head (alopecia areata totalis) or entire body (alopecia areata universalis).

♥ It is believed that the person's genetic makeup may trigger the autoimmune reaction of alopecia areata, along with other unknown triggers.

♥ Alopecia areata is an unpredictable disease. In some people, hair grows back but falls out again later. In others, hair grows back and remains. Each case is unique. Even if someone loses all of his or her hair, there is a chance that it will grow

What is the medication the doctor prescribed to you? I have it too and I would like to discuss this with my doc?

[MissSpeciallyMade]

@cutenlovely he gave me some type of ointment but I think u should go to the doctors to see what alopecia you have. Make sure you get some type of testing done.

Have you hand your Thyroid checked. The same thing happened to me years ago, the hair would fall out grow back and Doctors kept telling me different things. I finally went to a Doctor that did a complete check up and I found out that my Thyroid levels were crazy high. Find out if anyone in your family has a thyroid problem... Its very common in the African American Community. Your too pretty to go through this. Good Luck!!!

@KayKittles no I have never heard of it. It is something I need to check out about. Thank You! I really appreciate it.

I have aloepica and peolpe make fun of me and im only 13

[MissSpeciallyMade]

@sanabak It's crazy how people can make fun of something they don't understand. The lack of knowledge can cause people to hurt one another, but after you allow people to explore the experience with you, they should understand. Hopefully, you are not allowing this negativity get you down. If anything you should be laughing at there ignorance.

Good for you for getting a second opinion.

I'm going to see a dermatologist, and I'm not understanding where mines came from. I wear alot of glue in weaves, and this last time, took the cake. I took off the cap where the lady braided my hair down, and then put cap on it and glued hair in. When I seen the white patch of dandruff, and started to scratch it and peel it off...HAIR came along with it.....so now I have this patch in my hair....I'm not understanding why its like this, or what I need to do to get it back, but its serious...
