DH was diagnosed with alopecia areata just befor Christmas after we noticed some small bald patches appearing on his head. It seemed to stay fairly static and I thought it was possibly improving but over recent weeks the patches have increased in size and quantity.
We are pretty sure it is stress related and are trying to address how he manages stress but are both feeling a but despondent. I would really appreciate any stories from people who have already gone through this. Time frames of how bad it got before it got better and anything you tried which you feel improved things. At the moment the alopecia is just serving to be an additional stress in our lives!
