"My Diagnosis of Alopecia"

About: General practices in Ayrshire & Arran University Hospital Ayr / Dermatology

(as the patient),

Was referred to the Dermatologist in November 2023 regarding my Alopecia which has affected the hair growth on my whole body. I was put on a priority list, cancellation list and also happy to travel out with my health board. I’m currently still waiting and haven’t received any appointments. I’m finding this very distressing as I have been very patient but think the amount of time I’ve been waiting is extremely unreasonable.
