It was an overnight life change. That video now has more than 5 million views.
I was overwhelmed by the number of positive comments I received from people online. I had so many comments and messages to go through—when I started reading them, I remember crying because I was so touched. One note said something like, “I’ve never seen somebody else who has the same thing as me.”
That said, I knew shaving my head was going to bring more attention to myself—both positive and negative—in the real world. You just don’t see that many bald or short-haired women. I remember when I first shaved my head, I felt people looking at me and would instantly revert to feeling self-conscious.

My symptoms continued to get better after I began using Nopsor. Now, when it comes to my scalp, I’m just maintaining my clear skin.
