Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with Sydney Olson, a 21 year old college student who has had alopecia areata for over 10 years. Sydney is currently a biology major and chemistry minor at Concordia University in Nebraska. She was kind enough to share her story and many tips from her experiences with the condition.
