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

The charity is 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.

We have local support groups for Alopecia Areata sufferers that meet in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

We are proud of our successful campaign to get the rules on the prescribing of wigs on the NHS in Scotland changed.

Our longer term aim is 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
