Today, while looking through a stack of possible pictures for Facebook, I found one I really liked, until I noticed that I have recently developed a bald patch. Problem? I am a 22 year old woman. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I looked at pictures of myself from 20 years ago when I was a teenager and realized I have only about a quarter of my hair left. I'm a woman. FML
Today, I'm 20 and I'm going bald. FML
Today, someone told me I have male pattern baldness; they thought so because I apparently have a "receding hairline." It's always been this way, I checked my pictures from the time I shaved my head when I was 16. FML
Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML
Today, I noticed several grey streaks in my hair while putting it in its usual combover. I'm only 18 years-old, and my hair was once one of my greatest sources of pride. FML
Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML
Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML
Today, I realized how bad my grey hair problem has gotten as I noticed I had grey pubes. I'm only 23. FML
Today, I have alopecia areata and I constantly have reappearing bald spots all over my head. I cannot properly grow a beard, and one of my eyes has no eyelashes. However, my nose hair seems to grow at the rate of an old man on biotin. FML
Today, I found out, after having my third and last child, that I'm balding. I'm only 23 and quite frankly It's very much noticeable. How did I find out? My four-year-old daughter pointed it out to me, saying, "Mommy, why you shed like the dog?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Perhaps you should smell your shampoo to make sure no one replaced it with Nair.

I had that in high school and when I got into college they finally diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata. You should look it up, you might have that. They put me on allergy medicine to help and so far I haven't gotten one since.

none of the suggestions above will work except temporarily. genetics overpowers all. ydi for not choosing better parents.

Anyone who describes themselves as a 22 year old "woman" is obviously lying about their age.

hey girl, me too, but i'm 17, yeah, fml just wait it out, it's called alopecia aerata, it will grow back, take iron supplements and go see your dermatologist, they'll give you shots with steroids in them that will make the hair grow back

Yeah you really should go see a dermatologist. It could be alopecia areata, wich is in most cases a temporary disease, lasting a few years, but it will pass faster with steroids; or it could be a yeast infection on your head wich is easy to cure with cream and special shampoo; or it could be that you're losing hair all over because of anemia or stress or anything; or a number of other causes. Massive hair loss in a young woman is in most cases not just genetic baldness.

oh shit. well dont worry about it too much its probably from lots of stress, so try not to think about it. if worst comes to worst then just shave the rest off and get a hair piece.

I'd see a doctor could be something bad if you duno the cause, stress don't help!

Make sure you are eating enough, people with anorexia have hair loss.
