r/alopecia

This summer my friend and I were waiting to board a train when I noticed a person wearing a beanie. I pondered to my friend, “what medical condition would force a man to wear a full winter beanie on a scorching hot and humid 90 degree day in July?”

My friend thought for a second then answered, “alopecia.”

Alopecia/Eczema Connection

I am a 57-year-old woman, and I lost my hair to alopecia universal when I was 20. From the time I was 3 until I lost my hair, I suffered from severe eczema, mostly on my legs and arms. After I lost my hair, my eczema completely cleared up and never came back. Has anyone else experienced this?

M26, minoxidil unfortunately doesn't work for me.... where do i go from here?

So i have been experiencing alopecia for a while now, while there are still some left on my head, i don't think they'll stay there for long. I tried minoxidil for years, it did absolutely nothing for me, i also tried it with finesteride and it caused done other side effects.

Is there no hope except for transplant?

Thought I was just getting older but my hairdresser says I might have alopecia. Help

I guess this has been going on for a couple of years. These balding patches have been growing. Sometimes they fill in with fine white hair, but sometimes they just stay bald.

How do I even go about trying to find out?What type of alopecia this is if it is indeed alopecia?
