Alopecia areata ("baldness in spots") is a form of hair loss from areas of the body, usually from the scalp. Because it causes bald spots on the head especially in the first stages, it is also called spot baldness. Hair loss can extend to eyebrows, eyelashes and facial and nasal hair and create more bald spots elsewhere in the body.

Hi Everyone,
I recently been diagnosed with AA when I first discovered a nickel sized bald spot on the crown of my head. It started to get real big and is now about the size of an egg. In addition, I have about a dozen other spots that formed. My hair continues to fall out and it has been about 2.5 months since I first discovered it. Generally, how long is it before I stop losing hair?
Also, does anyone know the average time for regrowth?
Sincerely,

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thanks,
