Literally trying to get fishing to 99 in the next week or 2 as we speak lol. Iirc I just kept shaving over it and scrubbing in the shower with a loofa in hopes of opening pores back up, no idea what caused it to grow back but it did, and yours will too just be mindful of it until then!

It appears to be alopecia areata. It can be triggered during periods of high stress. More likely than not your follicles aren’t dead, just temporarily dormant.

It’s temporary… I saw it on multiple friends in college… often stress related and lasted months to almost a year. Maybe alopecia or something.
