A woman who has alopecia and survived a double mastectomy is showing off her body because she is “so proud” of all it has been through.
Marisa Kimmel, 29, of Bay City, Michigan, was diagnosed with the hair loss condition alopecia at the age of nine. At the time, she felt she would “never fit in” due to the bald patches on her head. After years of trying to cover up her hair loss during high school, Marisa decided to “set herself free” and shave her head at the age of 19.
