- My Name is Margaret, I live in EIRE. My son is 9 years old and on the 16th of December 2009, I noticed a small patch of hair had fallen out, it was 2 inches by 3 inches but since then it has become much bigger and other areas have started. What i have learned from this experience so far is that there is very little information in Ireland to keep a child assured or a mother from worrying. The doctors are useless so of course i went on line. I came across a product called calosol. I ask anyone who has used it to please contact me as i am afraid use it in case i make matters worse.... Well that's me panic stations...

I have bought the product but have decided to go with the doctors advice so thus far he has gone untreated... I think I was making matters worst for him. I don't want him have to deal with more then he needs to. We had spoken about it and it he is happy with taking the boosters. Touching wood, the hair lose has appeared to slow down or even ( touching wood again ) stop... It still breaks my heart to see this happening to him.
Thank you for your concern as it makes me feel that i'm not going mad altogether... :)
I understand where you are coming from though. As parents we want a quick fix remedy so that our children don't have to suffer in any way.
I know that working on his self esteem and making sure that he is involved in things will definately help in the long term. Whether he continues to have alopecia or not.
Are you coping any better?
How are you today?

I know that their are so many products out there that claim they work but you just don't know. If they did work we would hear more about them on here or via our doctor though wouldn't we.
Welcome to Alopecia World
I have a 13 yo son who has had Alopecia since he was 6. I know what you are feeling. I found the best thing was to read as much as possible. Now i am a member of this site i spend alot of time asking advice from people that have had it for many years.
I have read alot of the discussions and blogs as well. I have found that very helpful.
As far as products go ... we did try Rograine and cortisone creams but found they only worked while they were being applied. As soon as we stopped the hair fell out again. Also as far as my son went, he was better emotionally when we stopped concentrating on his head and concentrated on living a full and meaningful life.
If you want to discuss this more please just ask. I don't want to overdo it. I can ramble on....
