It’s estimated that 864 children from 2-14 years old in Ireland are affected each year by alopecia areata – a condition in which bald spots appear on the scalp, sometimes referred to as spot baldness. In 1 - 2 per cent of these cases, the condition spreads to the entire scalp – alopecia totalis. The child suffering from this condition often doesn’t understand the cause as an adult does and tends to think that there’s just something wrong with them and this causes unnecessary stress in the child’s life.
