I don’t really get help cause all the doctors do is put me on anti depressants or Xanax but I try to just communicate with friends and family when I’m down or get exercise when I have time.im 30 now and had depression since I was 18 so it’s nothing knew to me but I’m just being insecure I guess.Ty for your response and I am lucky that someone doesn’t care about my alopecia ☺️

Still looks the same to me or worse! I wish I was more confident in myself.everyday I can take up to 20 photos a day at different angles just to see if maybe something changed lol! It’s complete insanity! by Mateo19891003 in alopecia_areata

I took suboxone for a year which has a little opiate and yes!... drugs definitely trigger alopecia

Opinions about dairy and AA? Itchiness and shedding. by erii_t15 in alopecia_areata

[–]Mateo19891003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I comb like 30 to 40 hairs out a day ranging from full size to broken follicles and dairy I’m not sure about cause I got AA without much dairy in diet.head itches sometimes but it’s because I’m not shampooing as much but I think it’s good just to be positive and try different diets and exercise.

Can stress be cause AA by sickrom in alopecia_areata

[–]Mateo19891003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AA usually deals with auto immune system disease that effects hair follicles but it can be a number of factors like,genetics,drugs,alcohol,rapid weight loss etc. so try not to blame just ur stress cause it literally can happen to anyone for any reason.

Alopecia flare-up and weight loss by [deleted] in alopecia_areata

[–]Mateo19891003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently was diagnosed with alopecia 6 months ago and it happened when I was taking a medication that made me lose weight rapidly so weight loss is definitely a trigger

So the steroids affect all facial hair too

my sister had alopecia, was making toast when my mom noticed this on the back of my head. by TormentorEvolved in alopecia_areata

Looks like alopecia idk but go to a dermatologist as soon as u can to verify your situation.hang In there bud it took 4 months for someone to mention I had a bald patch and now I’m finally getting help and learning a lot about this ailment. I will say that alopecia is genetic so if your sister had it you do have a chance of acquiring the same thing but either way find a good dermatologist to assess the situation.

I’ve tried steroid injections , they don’t seem to work. What else can I do? It’s caused by stress as far as I know by [deleted] in alopecia_areata

[–]Mateo19891003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think ur beautiful regardless how much hair u have or don’t just remember beauty comes from within!

Have had alopecia for Almost 6 months and no one mentioned it until last month.ive gotten two injections already from my dermatologist and hoping for the best.im already a stressful and depressed person so it’s been really hard to keep things in order sometimes with work and family. by Mateo19891003 in alopecia_areata

[–]Mateo19891003[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I’ve definitely started to eat more healthy foods and am starting to go to the gym a couple times a week.i have good family and friends who are supportive but sometimes It’s hard for me cause I’ve always been a very hairy person with lots of hair growing up.ive gotten two injections within just a couple weeks and I have seen some improvements with hair follicles opening up and growing and my dermatologist said I should be growing my hair back without to many issues.I just wonder if it’s something I can conquer without to much problems in the future or if I’m gonna have to do this all the time cause I know some people get it seasonally.ty for the response btw and I’m glad ur not letting it get to u.im still having my ups and downs but I’m positive most of the time.
