What I liked
I took my 10 year old daughter to see a consultant here and she was confirmed as having aloecia areata, the consultant was not very helpful at all. All she said was yes its alopecia and we don't need to see your daughter again. Now my daughter has lost I would say nearly 50% of her hair and after looking on the internet she should be entitled to a wig, but there was no mention of any wigs, counselling, information on the condition or any information on support groups that may help her, all the consultant said was to get the remaining hair cut. So I since been back to see my GP who has now referred her to Birmingham Childrens Hospital hopefully they will be more sympathetic and care about how she is feeling.
