Thread: Facial hair loss

I recently have noticed loss of hair on my right cheek. A circle the size of a dime now and a few squiggly lines start off from there that look like some one was tracing a map on my face. The condition is called ALOPECIA. I had this under my chin about six or seven years ago and a dermatologist helped me with it. He gave my a series of shots on the effected area over the course of a few weeks and the hair came back. Now this, i am worrying about it because the Dr. told me last time that the treatment does not always work. I made an appointment to see him again but wanted to ask if any one else here has had any experience with this?

Mike, I know absolutely nothing about this, bit God bless you just the same and here's to quick solution and recovery!

There is a patch under my chin where only a couple of hairs grow.
Since the idea is to shave everything off, I don't really care.

Only part that grown hair on my face is around my mouth and chin... Cheeks are pretty much bare...

I remember when I was younger my parents had a friend, who worked in the same industry as my parents, who suffered from something similar. He had a full beard, which itched and his facial hair was falling out. I seem to remember someone saying it was something to do with stress.

It wasn't long after this I heard he went to jail because he had been caught stealing millions of dollars from a major Melbourne cemetery, some of which was going to his mistress.

That could have been the cause of his stress.

I am a Native American and because of my genes my facial hair does not fill in completely so I too get patches that dont fill in. Good luck with your condition.
