Hi Shawna, I have a 6. 5 yr old daughter who was diagnosed a year ago in May. She has lost all of her hair, lashes and brows now. We are currently trying a treatment and hoping for the best..Welcome to this board. There are a bunch of wonderful and supportive members here..cindy
No treatments yet! I know that there is a good chance that this fuzz may not actually become hair, but it was just such a calming feeling to know that something is happening!
Hello, I'm Miranda. My daughter, Della was also diagnosed at the same age! I am finding that there is something about that age! There are so many kids that start having spots around 2. Well, I would just like to welcome you to the Parent's Group. I'm definitely not an expert but Della has tried many things and we have been through a lot. I know there are many moms that have wonderful advice and that are just there with kind words when things get tough. I wish you all the best and we're here when you need us even just to discuss work. HAHA

Nice to see so many Canadians here, I'm from Guelph myself! Welcome to the group! I've had alopecia since I was one and there are plenty more "alopecians" here with similar stories so I'm sure you will find all the caring support you need!

My daughter Leah was diagnosed at 2.5 as well. She has no hair on her head but eyebrows and eyelashes.
I am now just trying to figure out treatments and/or wigs and hats.
Nice to see another fellow Canadian on the site.
Welcome to the journey.
