Alopecia: New drug offers hope to patients in Wales and England

“It’s brought me a lot of comfort to be able to relate to other people and, hopefully in turn, by being able to share my story and my feelings and journey, has provided some comfort to other people too.”

Although there is no long-term cure for the condition, the new drug, ritlecitinib, also known by the brand name Litfulo, is now available in Wales.

Dr Megan Samuel, a skin specialist, said the new drugs offered hope and were “very promising for people who suffer from alopecia”.

She said the treatment helped hair grow back and worked in a way where it “prevents the immune system from attacking those hair follicles”.

She added: “Some people suffer for the rest of their lives with this condition.

“This can be something that may help people get the cure they have been waiting for for a while.”

Ms Nicole said the new treatment could be “life changing for so many people within our community”.
