Some things that have helped to control my hair fall include: (1) I stopped wearing hair ties because it causes tension breakage. (2) I started massaging my scalp twice a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while leaning forward & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to shield my hair from pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.

I’m in the beginning stage of this….it takes such a toll on your emotional wellbeing. Especially since my hair used to be so thick when I was younger 🥺
Mam can I get your number
I hate this condition.I wish nobody to ever get this,even if they're my worst enemy. I've had this condition since I was12 and now i'm going to highschool. So heartbreaking people make fun of this.
NOV 28 Edit: I regrow everything back for like 4 months and then it fell out again. #ScrewAlopecia
I’m very sorry to hear this.
Love from India ❤️
Sending love your way. Do your best to cultivate a healthy environment when you can. Stress, diet and exercise are some key factors that I’ve seen that effect my alopecia.
@@raymondezell7817 Thank you,I wish the same for you. One question, do you still suffer from this condition,if not. Please tell me. how long it took for you to recover.
@@UnKnoWnCoMicAL Yes, it’s something I deal with everyday. I think the first thing is controlling what you can control. It seems unfair but that’s where you have to step in for yourself. Doctors, diet, rest, cutting my hair low to cutting it completely off. I’m 37 now. I’ve been dealing with this for 18 years. People laughed then, people laugh now but it’s because they don’t care to understand and that’s their ignorance. I keep myself out of situations and places that can exploit my vulnerability. Which means moving to a new city every few years, a new place when the lease is up….things like that. You have to figure out what works best for you. People drain me and they stress me. The more I’m by myself, the less stress I feel. Other people may feel more comfortable around people and that may help them heal. It comes down to how you view and feel about yourself and know that this doesn’t make or break you and whoever isn’t supportive, isn’t someone you need to associate with. You got this!
I suffered with this, I had around 5 patches. 3 on the sides, 1 on the back and 1 on top. It lasted for around 5 months and it was frustrating. And I didn’t do anything and did not treat it. It just fixed itself. The hair on the top and back came back and only the 1 of the ones on the side came back thick and normal. 2 of the ones on the side came back full and covered the spots but are not as thick as it was before. Anyways allhamdulilah it’s all gone now
Congratulations any tips I currently going through this?
@@4kt38babygunshotsjust have to wait same thing happened to me it grows back within a couple months
Hi, Can we connect? I just had my first patch and it’s very distressing. Should be grateful if you could go through your journey to help me deal with this better.
@@go2rakinI've been experiencing this for 10 years where I gey alopecia bald patch it grows back and reappears
How long has it been?
Mine started at 12 years old. 1 patch on the back of my head, grew back 6 months later. Around 14 years old, same thing happened again, and grew back. 18 years old 1 patch turned into my whole body being affected, and slowly been getting worse over the last 15 years. I haven’t got complete hair loss, but patches all over me. Head, eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, armpits, chest etc. Every single hair follicle on my body has been affected. The hair that does grow before falling out again is thin and never gets the chance to become a matured hair before the cycle happens again. Alopecia Areata and all other forms of this condition, ruins peoples mental health. I’ve never felt so ashamed of myself, embarrassed due to this condition. I have done years or research, and tried different potions to sort this out. But nothing works. It’s not researched enough in my opinion, as it isn’t something that reduces life expectancy etc, but the mental torture is something else. I hope one day that they find a cure, but like everything with the immune system, this is a difficult task. Every single day this condition is on my mind, and it’s hard to shrug off as when you look into the mirror, you get a reminder. Good luck to all that affected and I hope one day we can finally never worry about it
Amazing video I am going to the Doctor in a few days. And the 3 steps thing Really made me have hope. Being the third one is Regrowth. I have a huge bald spot that has grown. It’s so uncomfortable to look at I hate it. Hoping it grows back
About a two months ago i had noticed a weird sensation on my head. It almost felt as if i had my hair in a bun for a long time, like some sort of surface headache. As i ran my hands through my hair i had noticed a patch about the size of a quarter missing. I was so shocked and confused. I got my phone out and took a video of the spot and it looked exactly like the photos showen with the exclamation hair spilts. I silently freaked out because at that time my father had just been diagnosed with cancer and I didn’t want to bring another “illness” to the surface, and i still haven’t said a word. I’ve waited since February 6th (It’s currently March 21st) for the hair to grow because im too scared to tell my family about it. I don’t know if i have Alopecia but I’ve been doing research about it. I have no prior family history with an autoimmune disease of any sort, as for my dad he has stage 4 stomach cancer. They did a test on him to see if my siblings and i are affected by cancer in any way and it’s negative (supposedly).
I guess i just don’t want to be a problem to my parents. You’re probably asking yourself “Why doesn’t she just go to the doctors or something?!”, but I can’t i don’t know any of my info of insurance or anything. I literally just graduated high school and i have no idea what to do.
I guess i just wanted to tell somebody, well if anyone sees this 🤷♀️ i had to get it out of my system somehow.
If you can please see a doctor. This can be caused by an inflammation in the body that shows no other symptoms. It might be good to check your teeth, sinuses, digestive tract etc.
It could also be caused by heavy stress.
You should not be alone in this, stay strong and reach out if you need support. I hope your father, you and your family get better ❤.
Very many thanks indeed for such an extremely informative video. My friend has recently been diagnosed and is very worried, as a result of the hair loss, not previously. Many thanks indeed

Thank you for educating 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching
I also noticed when i was first diagnosed with eczema some of the hairs on my arms and legs would easily wipe off, like if i run my hand over my arm and the hairs would slip out of the follicle like they were loose and my eyebrows started thinning. Now the skin issue is dealt with and my eyebrows have grown fully back in and my hairy arms seem somewhat typical, the hair on my head just got worst as those other problems improved on their own. I don't know if it's the same thing that's now happening with my scalp.
Im 22 i noticed low density above my ears and hair loss, there are small round spots below extreme small spots where hair loss , i have been visited a dermatologist he treated me for. A period of 3 months still no change and hair loss is going on and my hair line changing gradually with low density of hair , what i have to do please reply
Ive had this about 4 times and each time it took between 6 - 9 months to heal. I tried all sorts of creams that did nothing so i started using Alpecin shampoo and within 3 weeks of using it it started to heal and since then has never came back. I'm not saying it will work for everyone but sure worked for me.
How often did you use it?
@@kotwofour everytime i showered then once it went back to normal i probably used it twice a week.
@@plasticsman10where can one get the shampoo at?? I have 2 bald spots right now and I hate it 😔
I got alopecia areata last October. I got one bald spot on the back of my head. Before that I was stressing out about my surgery to get my wisdom teeth removed. That was in July when I had my surgery and was put under. It’s slowly gotten bigger since I first got it and is now a little bigger than a quarter. I wonder if the stress of worrying for months and finally getting the surgery triggered it or not. Also, I rarely get sick. I haven’t been sick with anything in 5 years. Maybe my immune system is too strong or something.
I have a small circular patch on the back of my head and i was wondering why i have it
There are articles I'd like you to read. Here is one of them. "Can a tooth infection cause alopecia?
Some research has shown that there may be a connection between teeth infection and Alopecia Areata, caused by a weakening of the immune system due to tooth infection. In those studies, Alopecia areata was detected close to the area of tooth infection." Dec 4, 2020
Ok

Yes, I had AA and had a tooth infection. The first bald spot was close to the tooth, within an inch or so, on my neck/beard. No proof it had anything to do with the tooth infection. Every doctor or dentist I’ve been to about this dismisses that it would have anything to do with it. But I read that article and thought it was possible for sure
@@johnc3212 did it grow back ?
Anything that will allow your immune system to become irritated can cause AA. It has to be a shock to your system, not just day to day stress we all get lol. Infection and illness such as covid is massive for immune diseases
I was diagnosed with this over the summer. Thank you for sharing this information.
You are so welcome
Me too! And I'm only 19, I feel like I've lost my identity in its entirety. I feel hopeless, and I am not prepared to potentially loose all of my hair if that is the case :(
@@yxrii1118 I'm so sorry to hear that.

I pull my hair often but it also falls out. I have most of my hair, just multiple patches. Do I have Alopecia, Trichotillomania or both?

Hi Dr O Donovan,Does the steroid creams actually work for alopecia areata
I've had this for over 4 years no, started off as small patches and now over 50% of my hair is gone. I also have discoloured nails. Went to a dermatologist and had steroids for over six months. Cream, tablets and injections. But yo no avail. I don't care abt tjis much now as i am used to it butif you have any suggestions it would be appreciated. Thank you for the video ❤❤
I dont know if i have this but i have a bald spot at the back of my head ever since i was 11, now im 15 and it hasnt changed, i need help what to do
I have this bald spot. When I get a skin fade my bald spot is exposed even though there is no hair? There is literally 0 hair follicles there so it stand out even if I was to go bald. I’ve had this my whole life and it’s annoying. Not really a problem now because I grew out my hair but still it’s ANNOYING. I have multiple bald spots. Some are massive but it was covered by hair and some are small. I’m 17 btw so it’s definitely not male pattern baldness as I’ve had this since I was like 5 y.o. IVE BEEN TO A DOCTOR MANY TIMES AND THEYVE SAID THAT IT WILL GROW BACK. They never said it was aloprcia. They said because I have iron deficiency I have these bald spots… I’ve fixed it and it’s still there?!??!? Sorry for the rant
Can having dreadlocks cause this is or something similar because I never had hair issues but after cutting my hair after having dreadlocks for 10 years, I have something similar to this going on with the top of my head
Yessssss! I had dreadlocs for ten years and was wondering why I had a bald spot long story short cut my locs and noticed patches where my locs use to be my hair has not been the same .
I've been suffering with this since I was 17. I was recommended steroid cream, is this the same as steroid creams you get for eczema as I also suffer with that too.
I’ve had alopecia for as long as i can remember I’ve lived with it been bullied because of it to I wonder if I’ll ever really have a chance to get my hair back
I am experiencing it, is so sad, and I didn't even know when I started having hair loss, but I think is up to 3 to 4years now.
doctor, what are your opinions on jak inhibitors and prp?
btw i’m 15 yrs old
I don't know enough about these classes of medications to make an informed comment
@@DoctorODonovan doctor, my alopecia areata is regrown now i’m healed can i perm my hair? (boy)
in my opinion Jak inhibitor is dangerous.. because it used to suppress or shutdown our immune system so that they won't attack our hair follicle.. but any little infections can make our life itself in danger..
PRP not gonna work with alopecia because our immune system don't allow
@@danielemahi1929 I'm not a doctor .. I was suffering from childhood.. am still on my research

@@amylee9 I do it new for first day and you?
I developed AA last year and since then I had 4 patches. One would heal and another one would appear. It took me a long time to notice the first one because it was on the back of the head. I went to a specialized dermatologist and they did injections of corticosteroids during the course of months and I applied every night corticosteroids as lotion. From my personal opinion, corticosteroids in lotion might work better than in cream, because the lotion can penetrate more than superficially the skin. The two patches on the back of the hair have regrown. It appeared one in the top of the head and I realized quickly and started to apply the lotion right away, it stoped spreading and it started regrow promptly. For women sometimes is hard to identify a patch because we have a lot of hair. I found another one closer to my ears, it is a big one because I took a lot of time to find it.
I have some tips: if you are a woman, pay attention to suddenly hair loss with strands of hair falling together. If you can not find the patch, try dividing your hair in different parts and brushing it separately. In this manner you may find where the majority of the hair is falling from and localize the bald spot. Try applying corticosteroids in lotion as soon as you notice the bald spot, to avoid it from getting bigger. If you suffer from this condition very often, it is better if you consult a specialized dermatologist. I think the recovery may be harder if the AA spreads and if we wait too long for treating it.

Lost my curticles before my hair...its thinning allover got tiny bald spots allover my head they are tiny,and two in my right brow:(
Have been having bald patches for close to 10years and it's worsening...i visited a dermatologist 5 years back who injected my scalp with some corticosteroids and prescribed some topical cream which I used but it hasn't improved my hair growth.any advice?

I cut down on alcohol and caffeine and I was able to grow some small patches back. I started taking vitamin D around that time as well and that might have helped to.
My adult daughter has 2 patches .
First visited DRs 3 months ago .
Dr waiting to see if medicated shampoo works but it’s not doing anything.
It is getting worse.
Will cutting my hair make the bald spots worse?
I tend to have a patch every 2/3 years it's fills in over 6 months then comes back, it can be so upsetting trying to establish the triggers
Sorry to hear this. I hope you found the video informative.
Hi. Do you still get it? Ive had it a few times and found that Alpecin shampoo works wonders. Its about 8 quid a bottle from most supermarkets. Since using it i've never had it come back. Hopefully it would work for you. Maybe worth a try 👍
Iam suffering from the condition and iam bold on the top part of my head...it has killed my confidence. So iam keeping a bold head now
My Alopecia is stress related 😎 i’m self Conscious of it but seeing others comments about having it help
Mine started happening also. I'm thinking it's stress related. But I do over think stuff a lot.
@@OneManOnFire and the alopecia def doesn’t help w overthinking
@@OneManOnFireI’m the same, I’ve been really stressed about college and getting a job. Just yesterday I went for a haircut and the barber told me i had a bald spot around 2 cm in radius… Im really scared it will get worse quickly
@@rainseahorse9062 Mine started February in 2023 and reached it's biggest size June 2023. I probably have 1 big one the size of a baseball, 3 large grape size, and a few small spots. I'm on my 2 round of multiple steroid shots and it's growing back. I already in that acceptance faze and just learn to deal with it. I wear hats backwards around people. I wear a shower cap to protect my hair and only tap water on my hair. I use Costco Rogan and some Amazon random hair cream. You'll be fine.
A lot of it has to do with stress and bad routine. Also if you suffer from skin disorders like psoriasis or eczema there is more chance of alopecia. It’s due to the fact our immune system is attacking ourselves that could be triggered by bad routine, sugars, food, drugs etc
If you have underlining issues which you don't know about, it can be triggered. However, diet and small bouts of stress is not going to cause alopecia areata. Your immune system has to be triggered to where it becomes overactive, it has nothing to do with having a weak immune system, the immune system is to STRONG which then it begins to attack.
Genetics plays a major role, if you carry the gene u might develop it later on on life, it just has to be triggered. Other major factors of course can be chronic emotional stress, illness, medication. Anything that will trigger your immune system basically. Its not really based on having a bad diet or using drugs
@@kvocalist well I’m telling you this from experience. Also from a Medical standpoint even doctors cannot tell you the triggers. Only that it is made up of 3/4 things. One immune system attacking itself, two genetic predisposition, 3 routine/food/stress/triggers
I'm not saying you're wrong lol. I do think illness and medication is before food. Never heard of food giving someone alopecia
@@kvocalist not food. A lack of food/balanced diet, very poor diet, lack of nutrients and vitamins etc
@@YaDunno54 Yeah of course a lack of vitamins could definitely be a factor. I wonder if all of these things combined trigger the immine system. I wanna know once the immune system is overactive, does it just attack and attack causing the aloepecia, or does it stop and then get overactive again. I am a bit loss about that part, as some folks experience 1 patch one year and then the following year their is comes like crazy. Like does the immune system stay overactive all that time??
I had this too but my grew back try not to stress out body response to it

I am 49 years old. I first suffered alopecia areata at 20 years old. It started off with two circle patches and over the course of the next 4 months there was circle patch loss over my entire scalp. I got steriod treatrments and it came back over the course of a year. It than got me again at 33 years old. Same treatment and course of time. I got it again at 48 years old and I am still dealing with it now. It is not doing great this time. I am having a very hard time getting it back with treatment. The answer to your question is nobody really knows the answer, it is very mysterious. It sucks! Try every treatment. The steroid injections and the topical solution right away. The sooner the better. Good Luck..

I have alopecia ateata can you help me
Mine started around age 8-9 with a single patch. Doctors prescribed rubbing it with garlic which didn't work. A barber treated it with acid - it burned the skin, formed a scab and after it naturally fell off, hair regrew. Unfortunately, later on new patches appeared but the acid was no longer working.
Are you from Turkey?
@@gizemsahin3092 no, why?
@@ada7180 damn the same thing literally happens in Turkey i got alopecia here and barbers here do the acidy thing and doctors sometimes recommend garlic as well
@@gizemsahin3092 well I'm Bulgarian, so pretty close 🙂 Maybe the barber's is a shared regional knowledge.
@@ada7180 that makes hella sense lol. i literally experienced the same things as you (even tho mine started around when i was 22) it was so weird to read it cuz i felt like somehow i wrote it! anyway im hope you're doing well. My state lowkey got worse but deaing with it as much as i can...
I'm not even sure if i care to go back to my dermatologist because right off the bat her opinion made no sense.... I have thinning hair on the temples of my head and the center of my crown and at the time when i was wondering about the temples i asked her about my hair and she called it traction hair thinning saying i pulled my hair too tight, i think she assumed i do because i'm black and she thinks i wear hair peices..... I've never worn weaves or wigs, i don't do hair extensions, and the only time i've ever had a perm was like for only 2 years when i was in high school and that wasn't even my choice, my mom decided to impose it on me because she got tired of combing my hair because it was always so big and thick. I've always had long natural hair and the only thing i've been doing was wearing my hair in braids because i don't have much options, my hair knots on itself because i have 4b hair, it's always getting tangles if i wear it out and i cant keep it in a braid less bun with the loose hairs combed a ponytail because by the time i start running a comb through it it resists too much starting to knot on itself again....
I've always had long thick hair, like 30 inches of it most of my life, then suddenly i hit 30 and randomly started getting anxiety attacks followed by eczema and then my hair started thinning at the temples and then the center crown of my head, then i've been noticing how my hair don't seem to have luster like i did when i was in my 20s either, like it being super black and shiny, now it's dull, dry, and overly kinky when normally it waves, and when i comb it i notice a lot of broken ends all over the place. It's kinkier like closer to 4c and not as long anymore, it went from 30 inches stretched down to my back to now about 23-15 inches long. I've always been a shedder growing up, a large amount always came out but it was never a concern because there was so much hair and so much length as soon as it sheds it grew back a decent amount and i never had bald spots, and my hair grew very fast like 2 inches a month, but now it's even more hair being combed out, like a massive ball per week...... Only now new hair don't replace all the extra shedding like it used to, there's no straight up baldness it just doesn't have as much body anymore and is notably thin in some areas.
The only leads i have are eczema and anxiety and possibly hypothyroidism or something else similar because what else is there to speculate about and i'm getting fed up. I don't have much options to explore treatments not even natural, because a lot of treatments are expensive not to mention trying out medical serums....
I feel like for now ill just stick to my family dr, like blood tests and stuff like that to rule out hormonal problems or if it's even anxiety or eczema related, because the dermatology rout don't feel like it's headed anywhere, demonologists are my last resort because i don't see anything physically wrong with my scalp, no flakes or scales, so i'm wondering if it's a systemic problem.
I jus t started going through this 3months ago😢 I'm n my early 30's...Perms... Braids... Wiv...done it all....I FEEL SO F!
Your not alone

I am dealing with alopecia totalis..I live in Ghana... currently school and stigma is my major problem
I'm sorry to hear this.
I only have one small patch on my hair does it mean it’s alopecia ?
Thank you so much for watching the video and taking time to leave a comment. Unfortunately (and I know this will be frustrating for you), I am unable to give individual medical advice out on this channel. This is because of medico-legal reasons, not knowing your full case, circumstances and it would be unethical of me to do so. I have to advise that you speak to your own health provider (e.g. doctor, nurse) so that they can properly assess your case. Thanks for understanding.
I agree....new px now Available now tho

Very sorry to hear this
I have this and I hate myself and also I think I am a drawf
The comment section on alopecia videos are always a sad place, sorry for your struggles. Cutting out caffeine helped me regrow some hair loss from alopecia. I was also taking vitamin D twice a week, that might have helped to.
@@Maverick-316 definitely will use this thanks a lot dude 🥺
People that treat you like trash are the ones that are trash don’t let it get to you

"In most people, new hair eventually grows back in the affected areas, although this process can take months. Approximately 50 percent of people with mild alopecia areata recover within a year; however, most people will experience more than one episode during their lifetime". Source: Uptodate

I found a small dime missing in the back of my head just now. Im devastated. Ive been chronicaly stressed for 10 years so i cant say it doesnt make sense.
Can you help me sir anyway
this video was super helpful - for the past 3 or so weeks i’ve been experiencing hair fall to the point where i tug on it my hair would fall
i recently visited the doctor who checked and confirmed i didn’t have alopecia but was deficient in iron and vitamin d
no one in my family has alopecia but most have vitamin d deficiency
i used to be a vegetarian which led me to this point, now i’m eating a lot of boiled eggs and other sorts of meat rich in these vitamins
i used to have psoriasis which healed on its own when i went on a vacation to my home country (weather reasons)
i noticed this small patch at the bottom of my hair where there’s usually a “M” shape, one of the sides were super high up and thinned
my temples got a lot thinners so did hairs near my hairline
i have no other signs of alopecia, my nails are healthy so sir do you think it might me telegon effivum?
my doctor without even a close look straight up told me i don’t have alopecia but have diffused hair but it’s thinned out a lot except the thinning got a bit better and slower
thank you so much
So your alopecia went away once you incorporated vitamin d in your diet?
I want to lose hair with alopecia universalis , whole body hair lose , is it possible that I can have it
