September 2022 is Alopecia Areata Awareness Month.
In the United States, nearly 7 million Americans suffer from Alopecia Areata, also known as AA, with most Americans experiencing their first symptoms as children, teenagers, or young adults. AA not only causes hair loss, but has been known to drastically impact the mental health of those that have been diagnosed.
This was brought to my attention by an active resident in my community of Mission Hills, who is helping to raise awareness about this autoimmune disease.
