September is Alopecia Awareness Month. Not many people know that I suffer with Alopecia Areata. It is a chronic condition that causes hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles. It's also known as spot baldness. I have always been 'lucky' with my alopecia, I've only ever lost patches in areas that are easy to hide. However September is all about raising awareness of this autoimmune disease, and how can you raise awareness if you're hiding it away! Laura Oliver
