Please be aware that any questions Dawn is unable to answer will be sent on to staff at Alopecia UK. Support group leads are not professional counsellors but people who have personal experiences with alopecia and, along with members of the support group can help to give insight and advice on living and dealing with alopecia on a day to day basis. Please note that our Support Group Leads are volunteers and do this in their spare time, as such please allow up to a week for replies to emails. Dawn's link with alopecia: I have had Alopecia since 2019 starting with small areas at first, but now it has been Totalis for the past 2 years. Before this I often had small patches that would come and go, sometimes even growing back white. At the beginning I was able to get support locally with a lovely group of people. Unfortunately the group stopped due to Covid-19 restrictions and was unable to start again. Therefore I thought as I found this so helpful and was feeling more confident, I could now help others. It has only been a short journey for me, but I think seeing and talking about Alopecia has help me to settle into my comfort zone and hopefully the more we talk the better we can be to ourselves.
