    Smile [:)] Alopecia Areata

    Hi, I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there in the capital region who is dealing with this affliction. My 16 year old daughter has had tis for 2+ years now and I can't seem to find any local information or groups. So far she has handled this problem very well, but I thought if she had someone close to her own age to talk to it might be nice for her. Any information would be appreciated. ThanksBig Smile

    Re: Alopecia Areata

    Greetings;

    The information is on WebMd. It is a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your hair follicles. Experts do not know why this happens. It is most common in people 20 and younger, although people of any age may get it.  Check WebMD for further info, etc.
