HeadzUp - For young people with alopecia

Welcome to Alopecia UK

The aim of Alopecia UK is to provide information, advice and support for people with experience of alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.

The term alopecia is used throughout this site to refer to alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.

Looking for Somewhere to Meet Other People with Alopecia?

Our discussion forum provides a place for people to share experiences of alopecia and to hear the experiences of others. You can read the forum postings without logging on but in order to use the discussion forum you will need to register. We have a database of UK based support groups and provide support to people thinking about starting a group.

Looking for Information on Alopecia?

Have a look at the links under About Alopecia to find about the different types of alopecia, the treatments you can get and answers to those frequently asked questions about alopecia.

Looking for Other Resources?

Have a browse through the links under ‘Further resources’ to read book reviews, find out about other alopecia websites and organisations and where to find out about the published research on alopecia.

And Finally…

We also have pages of tips for dealing with a new appearance. The appearance tips page gives advice for covering up hair loss while the coping tips page provides advice on dealing with difficult situations that may arise.

We hope you enjoy our site and find it helpful.
