Hi.  Alopecia Areta is when hair starts falling out.  Anyone can get it at any time.  Some say it could be hereditary, but no matter what race, gender, or age, it can occurr.  My stepson had it at the age of 5.  At first it looked like a shiny bald spot (the shape of a dime).  After trying several creams which did not work, the dermatologist gave a series of cortizone shots on the scalp.  For a 5-year old to go through that, he did very good.  His hair grew back.  Tell your friend to see his determatologist and it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion.  Good luck.

you losing hair because of hair follicle dying.  you could try going to one of those hair treatmeant place where they use your own hair.  You could also shave your head.

You need to take your son to a dermatologist.  there is a condition called alopecia areata which can make hair fall out of eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp. It is not dangerous and can be reversed if treated properly

Sweetie, if some guy doesn't think your sexy because you've cut your hair then he didn't really think you were sexy to begin with.  If you are comfortable with yourself then you will be sexy to whomever is attracted to you.  Be confident in yourself!

She might have a hormone problem.  I suggest she talk to her doctor, just to be on the safe side.\nOf course, it might just be normal for her, in which case her choices are shave, pluck, wax, bleach, electrolysis, laser, or just ignore the hair.

If suddenly dyeing his hair is the thing you are most worried about, you are doing pretty good. I wouldn't be too concerned.

HE NEEDS COUNSELING ON HOW TO CONTROL HIS PROBLEM, PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING. I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S JUST SICK TO HAVE TO BE AROUND THAT ALL THE TIME. I'M NOT BEING MEAN AGAINST HIM, BUT I'M SURE THAT YOU CAN AGREE THAT IT ISN'T A NORMAL THING FOR ANYONE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH.  HE DEFINETELY NEEDS TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL, AND I THINK THE ONLY WAY IS TO TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL ABOUT IT.  I STILL DON'T THINK THAT'LL GUARANTEE THAT HIS HORMONES WILL ALLOW HIM TO DO THAT THOUGH BUT GOOD LUCK!

If someone coud solve your problem, they could become very rich. it seems from what I have read about it, that testosterone is converted to another more potent hormone which at first they thought built up around the hair folicle and kept the blood supply away, now it seems they have decided it causes inflamation around the hair folicle and the inflammation is the cause of the hair falling out, if you use an immune system suppressing drug, your hair will grow back, but in doing so, it is very dangerous to mess with immune system suppressing drugs. it appears your immune system is responsible for your loss of hair. most people aren't aware that all steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol, lowering your cholesterol may help slow the process of hair falling out. less cholesterol to make testosterone less to make dht which irritates scalp and causes inflammation. in other words, there isn't much you can do about it.

that happened to me & after 3 tests by 3 labs it turned out i was using hair products with "coal tar" in them. if he scratches his head does he have a pastey substance under his nails? if he does, go to a healthfood store and get a bottle of pure jojoba oil, add 4-6 drops to a quarter size amt. of jojoba shampoo & apply it to the scalp & leave on over nite & shampoo in the morning. it removes the dead skin & oil buildup that's smothering the pores, making the hair fall out prematurely. it worked great for me!

Don't worry about it...baldness in a guy is soo sexy! But seeing a Dr. wouldn't hurt either, because sometimes hair falls as a result of a vitamin deficiency, so check that out and like I said, if you lose your hair it shouldn't be that big of a deal... I have a friend who was 20 when he first started losing his hair--now he's bald and happy with it! If you can't do nothing about it, just learn to live with it! Like I said before, bald men are sexy!

Well, that is a tough one but, if he is out of "Pampers" then just simply tell him that he is acting imature and advise him on how to improve.  It will take some graceful tact on your part however, I have confidence in you.

I think all guys' hairlines regress a bit from childhood to adulthood. If you are balding, there are plenty of available treatments (probably not for a 13 year old). Tho they are not guaranteed. Look at the hairlines of the men in your family, it will reflect the future of your hairline. \n\nRegardless, don't worry about it. If you go bald, it isn't a loss at all.

He probably confides in you because you are the only person he feels comfortable enough to do so with. He trusts you. I understand though, that he is bringing you down, causing you excess worry. Like you mentioned, he needs to speak with someone professional. There's nothing wrong with doing so. It sounds like he may have depression which will affect ones self-esteem. If you really do care for your friend help direct him to get some help. Let him know that he worries you and that mentally, you can't take the emotional blackmail anymore. Let him know though, that you do care about him and want to see him get some help to make himself feel better. You'd be the greatest friend ever to see him through this if at all possible and help him to get a "fresh" start again. Be upfront, honest and considerate with him...hopefully he will take your advice and get himself to feeling much better soon. Good luck to you!!

If a guy is straightening his hair, just get over him....Sorry, but if a guy needs more prep time in the morning than a girl, that's just weird.

That's a tough thing for anyone to go through and probably more so for a police officer or detective. That is a high stress and emotionally draining job I would think. Does he go out or stay in a lot? If he stays in a lot, try to get him to go out. He needs to do things to build his self confidence again. Going to the gym, join a group that does things he has similiar interests in, take a couse at a local college just for fun ex: writing, art, etc. You didn't say if he could return to that work in another city or not. That might be one option. There are many other jobs he could get with his vast skills and experience and he could take some courses at a college to add to his skills and head his vocation in another direction. He could also volunteer to go to schools and talk to children. I would not push him to get a job until he is feeling better about himself and when that time comes, I would suggest a part-time one. Let him know that he has the power to turn a bad turn of events into a positive and meaningful one. He is fortunate to have such a caring and concerned friend like you. Good Luck with your friend and I hope things get better for him.
