Seriously? You aren't even bothering to spell it correctly. Looks like you really read a lot of medical research before editorializing on a disease you know NOTHING about.

You are describing one symptom instead of her autoimmune disease. She does not have "alopecia induced baldness." She has an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss and several other symptoms. Big difference.

That is like saying someone was mocked for having "cancer induced baldness." No. "cancer" is very different from one cancer symptom.

There are two ways to handle this at this point.

1. You could correct your misinformation and change "alopecia induced baldness" to "the autoimmune disease alopecia areata, in which one symptom is baldness" or you can 2. decide to spread misinformation and harm more people who have autoimmune diseases and are mocked by society.

All the handicapped, cancer, and AID folks await for you to make that tough decision.
