Alowhat? The Beginning of the End

About a month ago I noticed a small circular area on my right cheek in which there was no longer any hair. It was most peculiar, especially beause it just appeared there from nowhere, seemingly overnight, and the skin below it was as smooth as before I started shaving.



I took my problem into the finest in medical care, the Georgetown University Health Clinic. They think it might be a fungus, so I've been applying an antifungal topical cream for the past five weeks. The doctor says if that doesn't work it means that I simply have a case of alopecia areata, which is hair loss confined to particular area. The Internet says the hair will probably grow back soon, and if it doesn't they'll try injecting steroids into my skin, but I'm not holding my breath. I now suffer from delusions of hair loss, thinking I see new bald spots appearing daily.
