A Gateshead woman with alopecia says she was reduced to tears after a cleaner at a Tesco Extra asked whether she knew she was using the women's toilets. Helen Rowlands, 37, who has had the hair-loss condition since childhood, called the public challenge humiliating. The store manager apologised, gave her flowers, and said the outside cleaning firm would train staff. She hopes to raise awareness.
