My Daughter Has Alopecia Universalis

I have a daughter that has had aolpecia universal for the last 10 yrs. Her hair completetly fall out and then regrew back with help of cortizone shots, lasted 2 yrs and than fall out again. Since then her hair has never returned. Now, at the age of 30 and the devasation of no hair and self esteem are at rock bottom. What would you suggest.

Thanks

There are dermatologists that specialize in this condition. There is a doctor here in Los Angeles that might be able to help her — Dr. Richard Strick is at UCLA and I’ve written about him before. He’s done remarkable work with alopecia areata patients (see Alopecia Areata in a Patient with a Miracle Cure), and although your daughter has a different form of alopecia, it is worth perhaps contacting Dr. Strick.
