Identity and self-acceptance with alopecia areata: A community panel discussion

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 2025 4PM PST/ 6PM CST/ 7PM EST

Living with hair loss from alopecia areata is an integral part of identity for some individuals. For adults who developed the condition during childhood, patchy hair or no hair may be all they have ever known, while others have navigated the journey of accepting and embracing their disease after its onset later in life. In this panel conversation, community members will discuss their personal experiences with alopecia areata, explore how it has shaped their identities, and share their perspectives on the availability of new treatments.
