Lake Baldy

Sweet home Alabama was calling my name and a trip home turned out to be a perfect time to show Dr. Mom that my Alopecia was doing something I had never seen before. The tiny bald spot just to the right of my part had multiplied into two more spots nearby. There were just a few tufts of hair that were keeping the three nickel size spots from forming Lake Baldy on the right side of my head. Alopecia may take this multi-occurring form, Alopecia Areata Multilocularis, but it had never happened to me before.

My mom eased my concerns and said that this was part of Alopecia. She advised me to see a dermatologist after the vacation and I agreed that I would if I started to loose more. I had not seen a doctor for my Alopecia since my initial diagnosis. Treatments like steroid shots in the scalp never seemed like a needed option when I could just cover the balding and wait for re-growth, but the amount of hair loss left me with a lot of questions about Alopecia.
