What the petition asks
We call on the UK Government to review diagnosis of, and care for rapid-onset alopecia areata, including severe forms resulting in total hair loss.
We think this review should consider reported cases of rapid or severe alopecia in relation to immune system activation. It should also consider how to ensure better NHS pathways for patients experiencing severe or sudden autoimmune hair loss, including those who do not wish to use immunosuppressive treatments, and how to improve access to psychological & emotional support.
