Question 1

I've been dealing with alopecia since I was in 6th grade, and it's really affected my life and happiness. It started in one small spot and then spread all over my body. I've been feeling very isolated and haven't even been able to go out much, including to school. Can you help me understand what I can do to manage this or if there's anything that might help stop the spread?
