My brother has these terrible bald spots. He also has psoriasis..
I'm worried about him because he's getting more spots all over his head and he's had to shave his head recently because he felt he looked bad. Makes me sad to see *him* sad. I think it's affecting his self esteem too.
Anyway, I recently read in my Cosmetology books about Alopecia areata, "the sudden falling out of hair in round patches, or baldness in spots, sometimes caused by anemia, scarlet fever, typhoid fever or syphilis."
My concern is anemia. he's looked up a little information about it on the internet but we still don't know what's going on. He's only 23 and its hard to see him go through something like this.
Can anyone here relate? Got any information or advice?
Thanks in advance!
Hugs,
Lex
