hi
about six years ago i lost my hair to alopecia. i found out a few months ago that i was pregnant. The last month my hair has been falling out in clumps just as it did six years ago. although i am scared i’ll lose all my hair again, i am more worried that i may pass the alopecia on to my unborn child. is it common that a child may suffer from alopecia because the mother has? please help
I do not understand what is happening to you. Some types of alopecia are passed from mother to child. I would want to know more about your hair loss.
