Female gender, Asian ethnicity, lower income, and worse AA symptoms predicted higher spend from income. Wigs were the most common product used and incurred the greatest cost (median \u00a3700). The highest cost for men was private dermatology services (median = \u00a3550). On average people spent 3% of their disposable income (prior to housing costs) on AA-related products and services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
