Alopecia Areata
« on: September 12, 2011, 03:24:50 PM »
Just went sly last night.  Have Alopecia Areata on my beard for a year, then on my head for about 6 months.  I shaved it off because it was depressing hiding giant spots in weird places on my head.  I feel better for doing it, but still taking some getting used to.  I didn't plan on being hairless, but whatever.  Coming to terms with it in 6 months was toughest.  But my wife digs the new dome actually, which is a huge plus.  Now I'm cruising the message board for some 'tanning' advice as I'm completely mismatched on head and face now.  Keep you posted!  (great forum by the way, I've been checking it out since I started getting spots on my head)

Welcome, a few days of easy sunshine will do the trick but don't rush it.
