r/AlopeciaAreata is a subreddit with 809 members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses alopecia, alopecia areata, treatment, hair loss, and experience.
A place for people suffering from alopecia to share their experiences or ask advice.
For some reason, the other alopecia subreddits are no longer allowing new posts, so I created this new one to help with that
