My hair has died in patches. There is no other word for it. I have very very long hair that I have been abusing and about 1 1/2-2 months ago the hair turned white blond in round patches. It subsequentally fell out (in these patches, slowly) about 2 weeks ago, but new hair is growing in these spots. Is this going to happen all over my head?? Has anyone of heard of this?
I was dyeing my hair regularly (WAS and with various products) and also not taking vitamins (I am now, biotin hair supplements) and I seriously overexposed my hair to the sun (Florida sun from July-October). Around the same time the spots appeared, I had started the Depo-Provera shot. I do not have insurance and cannot afford to go to the dr... so any advice/help is appreciated!
Thanks, in advance!

Is there a clinic for the uninsured in your area? You might find info in the newspaper or yellow pages. We have one where I live, and they let you make payments. There is also financial aid for people who qualify in some locations. Also, look online. If you Google "Clinics for the Uninsured", you can find many local listings for the US.

It could be from dying it all the time or it could be

Alopecia areata

Alopecia areata is a hair-loss condition which usually affects the scalp. It can, however, sometimes affect other areas of the body. Hair loss tends to be rather rapid and often involves one side of the head more than the other.

Alopecia areata affects both males and females. This type of hair loss is different than male-pattern baldness, an inherited condition.

What causes alopecia areata?

Current evidence suggests that alopecia areata is caused by an abnormality in the immune system. This particular abnormality leads to autoimmunity. As a result, the immune system attacks particular tissues of the body. In alopecia areata, for unknown reasons, the body's own immune system attacks the hair follicles and disrupts normal hair formation. Biopsies of affected skin show immune cells inside of the hair follicles where they are not normally present. What causes this is unknown. Alopecia areata is sometimes associated with other autoimmune conditions such as allergic disorders, thyroid disease, vitiligo, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Sometimes, alopecia areata occurs within family members, suggesting a role of genes and heredity.
