Who else here has alopecia?
I have alopecia universalis.
It does cause quite a bit of self esteem issues.
I have gotten over most of it but still find myself in a "dark place" because I do not have any hair.
I am a 20 year old man who could probably be mistaken for a 11 year old boy.

To be honest if I could at least have my eyebrows I would be slightly more comfortable with it, then I could at least say I shave everything.


How do you deal with it?
What have you done to try and improve your quality of life, to keep from going to a dark place just because of how you look.

People have told me "why dont you just get a wig" like it is going to fix all my problems. First of all, its not my hair so I dont want it.
People also tell me I am not bad looking, I dont usually agree with them.
By the way, this is what I look like. One of my favorite pictures of me.
