September has been considered the
Alopecia Areata awareness month worldwide.
What is Alopecia?
It is a condition when hair loss
occur because of the immune system attacking the follicles. It can cause partial
loss or total loss of hair all over the body and the head.
For this year's Alopecia
awareness, Singer Abby Asistio will lead the celebration along with Alopecia
Philippines whom she founded in 2012
Abby is no stranger to alopecia, having been diagnosed with alopecia Areata
since she was four years old. Abby’s decision to come out in public with her
condition was a major turning point in her life.
On September 2012, Abby decided to start an online campaign in time
with Alopecia Awareness Month by inviting family and friends to pose with the
double “A” (inverted “V”) sign using their fingers on the photo sharing site,
Instagram. It quickly caught on and Abby was overwhelmed by the response from
netizens, with over a thousand photo contributions to date.
This paved the way for the beginnings of Alopecia Philippines. It aims
to raise awareness about alopecia and correct common misconceptions and perceptions
about it, provide encouragement to people afflicted with it, and create an
online support community for them.
Inspired by Abby’s honesty and courage, men and women, kids and teens
from different walks of life began sharing their own stories and struggles
living with alopecia. What started out as a group of ten is now more than 300
members strong and its Facebook page – Alopecia Areata Awareness, draws
followers from all over the world. – novu press release
