Have you been to your GP and asked to be referred to dermatology ? A Skin consultant can advise you about any treatment. Also your GP might refer you for councelling in case its stress and anxiety that is causing the hair loss.

Best of luck. You are very young to have this horrible disease

Hello, I agree with Dee that you should ask your GP for a referral to dermatology. Unfortunately, alopecia is difficult to treat. None of the treatments available are guaranteed to work. What can really help those of us with alopecia is knowing we're not alone and talking to others. Not sure if you're able to get along to an Alopecia UK support group or event such as our Alton Towers trip but this might help make things feel a little easier.

Sending you my best wishes, Amy.
