I am having a serious case of Alopecia Areata.
It is actually a condition where the person's hair falls beyond the normal hairfall in a day, and looses too much hair.
I lost too much hair. I lost my crowning glory.
It all started when I was taking the board exam in Cebu, while taking shower in the dormitory, i started to notice that there were hairs all over my shoulders while shampooing my hair..
at first i didn't mind the hair shredding, my thought was maybe it was just normal.
However, after taking the exam, i noticed patches of scalp in my head without hairs. I told my family about this and they were alarmed, as for me, i was just calm and relax and just thinking that this will grow back.
the next day, I went to the dermatologist. The doctor injected my head with a solution to stimulate hair growth and prescribed a daily topical solution along with oral antibiotics for my scalp.
However, mid February, the patches that seemed to be so small before became very prominent to the observers.
Most of the time, people would ask me what went wrong, and i have scripted answer to answer them, I didn't mind the questioning actually
One time, i gave a thought of looking thru the mirror, taking a glimpse of what might look like at the back, i was shocked to see that it was really alarming.
The first two pictures are the recent balding i am experiencing the other week and this week i had my hair shaven. first time in my life!
I am having meds right now and hopefully everything will be alright soon.
Tiny hairs at the patches of my scalp are now visible as of the moment.
No worries. Everyday, a brand new hair is attempting to grow.
