Community Voices If there was one thing you could tell your friends about alopecia areata, what would it be? What’s one thing you would like to tell your dermatologist, parents, co-workers, or classmates? NAAF asked our community these very questions and we hope you’ll find these patient perspectives both candid and informative. And if you’re an alopecia areata patient, you may find your experience is similar to that of the patients featured here. Optional additional language: We’re always looking – and listening – for new patient voices. We encourage you to answer any or all the questions below and send them to gary@naaf.org. Please let us know whether you would be comfortable sharing your answers with the rest of the community either on our website or on our social media channels. You may also share a photo if you wish.
