Using JAK inhibitors to treat alopecia areata

Tommy Hall began experiencing hair loss in November 2021, and within four weeks, he has lost around 70% of hair over his entire body.

He has no idea what had caused his hair loss, and found that there was no cover from the NHS to help him with treatment.

He went to the dermatologist and was given a diagnosis of alopecia areata, which was a relief and a shock.

Tommy began researching treatment options, and happened upon a Facebook group where some members had been using JAK inhibitors to treat their hairloss, a relatively new treatment using drugs that were originally designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis.

He is now coming to terms with this new treatment regime, and that he may be living with alopecia his whole life.
We look at how to find affordable treatment, the side effects and dealing with the unknown.

Tommy describes how he feels empowered by his ambition and strength to find a solution to his condition, and he is happy to be able to help others on their journey and share his progress.
