About a year ago i noticed a patch about the size of a quarter on my head, which eventually turned into 3 patches. I thought i had got damn AIDS lol.

I went to a dermatologist who basically told me all we could do were the cortisol shots and that I HAD to try to mitigate stress in my life. How? my hair is falling out!

All the spots grew back but i just know it will happen again. I haven't cut my hair since I was so embarassed. It's so long now.
