Alopecia Universalis at 17 ~ Why it's important to find connections

Frank Cornine, 38, has been living with alopecia since he was 17 and in High School, when within 6 months he experienced a total loss of hair from his whole body!

He describes his visit to the dermatologist to get help as quite cold and not very compassionate, saying his initial patches of hair loss may get better, or they may get worse.
The uncertainty of whether his hair would all fall out or return was difficult to deal with.

He describes losing a part of his identity, how he no longer looked like his family members and actually admits he had an Identity Crisis because of not looking like himself.

High School and College were difficult; he didn't know anyone with alopecia and didn't have anyone he could talk to who understood what he was going through.

He has now set up his own podcast, Alopecia Connection to help people going through hair loss realise they are not alone.
