I can not comment on what you were told, but I know that such genetic conditions, which may occur normally in those with the impacted genes, can be accelerated by stress. You are correct, in a sense, that stress can precipitate what genetically would have come with time.
A hair transplant requires a sufficient amount of donor hair taken from the back of the scalp, to be moved to the balding area. Unfortunately if you do not have the donor hair to accomplish your goal, then hair transplantation is not an option. You can discuss your choices with a good dermatologist, and the […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — ‘SYTYCD’s Stunning Franchesca Bass Doesn’t Let Her Condition Weigh Her Down Check out the video of her dancing on YouTube or at the link above.

Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Teenage alopecia sufferer in China trek The article wasn’t clear on what kind of alopecia she has, but it appears to be totalis or possibly universalis. I congratulate young Ms. Frost on her courage and her desire to raise awareness.
“Alopecia” is the latin word for “hair loss”. So the answer your doctor gave you is that you have hair loss. There are various types of alopecia (androgenic, areata, universalis, etc), so I’m not sure what your doctor diagnosed you with. If you’re getting spots on various parts of your scalp, it could be alopecia […]
Implanting artificial hair is dangerous and leads to massive infection. This is not a solution. Usually, alopecia areata does not cause complete loss of the scalp hair, and you may have alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis.
You are correct that alopecia universalis generally appears in the younger men, but that is just an ‘expression’ of the gene and the tie to age may not be absolutely chronologically determined — so it can appear at any age. The ‘complete’ disappearance of hair may also not occur immediately and at times, some hair […]
I understand you are at a junction where the doctors you have seen have not been helpful. I also admire your quest to find the cause of your hair loss condition. However, it is not my role to be your doctor or give medical treatment or diagnosis via the internet. At best, I can only […]
The last question is the easiest, as it is purely a genetic process now being mapped out by the science of genetics. When the research advances with a solution to the genetic defect, then you and many other people (even those without the complete loss of hair) may benefit. For those of you interested in […]

Snippet from the article: Read the rest — How dating works when you’re a bald woman This is a great article by Michelle Law as she talks about how life in the dating scene can be a challenge when you’ve got alopecia. Bald women should not be made to feel alienated.
The term “alopecia” just means hair loss, so if you went completely bald, I am going to assume your doctor diagnosed you with alopecia totalis (total scalp hair loss) or alopecia universalis (total scalp and body hair loss). I wish I had better news to give you, but unfortunately the treatments available for these types […]
You probably have a condition called alopecia universalis where all body hair (including eyebrows, lashes, and scalp hair) is lost. I would think that most people in your shoes would’ve seen a doctor by now (considering you lost all of your scalp and body hair), but please see a good dermatologist to get a proper […]
Anything is possible, but highly improbably that you will lose all your hair (unless you have alopecia universalis or totalis, which is rare). Sometimes hairs go into a cycle of excessive shedding and falling out. This is called telogen effluvium. The good news is if this is the diagnosis, it will reverse and your hairs […]
