Alopecia Help and Advice (Scotland) is a locally based charity setting out to help people suffering from Alopecia Areata. It was set up by the mothers of two girls with Alopecia Areata who live in Grangemouth and Edinburgh.

The charity is being advised by a consultant dermatologist at The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh who has an interest in Alopecia Areata.

Although we offer support and help to people with Alopecia Areata, we cannot diagnose the condition. If you suspect you have Alopecia Areata, you should make an appointment with your GP, who may then refer you to a skin specialist.

Our short term goal is to set up local support groups for Alopecia Areata sufferers across Scotland.

We need more information on the number of people who would like to take part in a support group and we need to hear from sufferers about the types of help they would like.

In the longer term we aim to be in a position to fund the much needed medical research into the causes of Alopecia Areata and to assist in the research and development of possible treatments.
