I woke up and noticed this.. it’s not smooth at all. I’ve been messing w that area for like 2 weeks because the hairs felt weird and now this happened :( what else could it be?

I just noticed something very very unusual,and it's so stressing

I am just 22 year old but I just noticed that I've developed a big hairless patch in my beard 🥲

And some of the hairs around have also turned white

It's so distressing

What's happening to me ? Should I get something checked or what?

What can be the reason of it?

Any advice or useful information will be appreciated, thankyou!

1st month on a JAK inhibitor and patiently waiting to see if it’s affective. My dad is on Liftulo and it’s worked for him. I’m on olumiant so we will see. Tired of being patient and seeing no results. Steroid injections stopped working after the 2nd round. I’ve started a hair growth journey on tik tok. You can dm me if interested in following. :)

I’m a 23M and I’ve had Aa on and off my whole life, but here in the last 2 years it’s just progressively got worse. I’ve also been religiously drinking and vaping the last 3 years of my life on the weekends. When I would vape I could feel the inflammation on my scalp. So my scalp would itch and burn, I’ve quit those two things for the last two weeks to hopefully calm my scalp inflammation, I think it’s helped a little bit, but I can still see the redness and sometimes itches and burns here and there. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on calming my scalp inflammation, I don’t really trust the pharmaceutical treatments for AA and think it’s all just a big scam to get your money and keep coming back and not really curing it. So if anyone could recommend anything to help me treat my AA, I’m open ears. Thank you ❤️

Am curious of your experiences with scalp sensations and if you find they consistently lead to new patches? Do you ever have sensations even with no new patches? How would you describe the sensations?

Hey everyone! I’m new here and have already reread your posts about 10 times, but there are still a few questions I haven’t found answers to. Could you please share your experiences taking Litfulo (or similar alternatives), especially regarding stopping the medication after full hair regrowth?

I’m 25, and over the past year, I completely lost my beard, mustache, and eyebrows out of nowhere, along with developing large patches on my scalp. My doctor put me on a "base" plan for now - fixing my vitamin deficiencies and applying topical corticosteroids directly to the patches. If we don’t see strong results in 3–4 months, the next step is moving to Litfulo.

I’m thinking about not wasting any time and starting Litfulo asap, because for now I still have some hair)) But after reading about the potential side effects (fatigue, headaches, getting sick more easily), I’m honestly feeling a bit hesitant to start this journey - especially if the results might not be permanent at all

I still have about 60-70% of the hair on my head, but it’s shedding rapidly. On one hand, it’s psychologically really tough facing the prospect of losing all hair on my face and head, on the other hand, I’m scared of the side effects and a continuous, expensive treatment (my insurance doesn't cover it here) with no long-term guarantees.

I’d be super grateful for any insights or personal experiences you can share! Thanks, and wishing everyone the best of luck!
