6 year old developing alopecia

I am looking for advice, my 6 year old daughter has starting getting patches of alopecia over her head, her hair is getting fine. Has anyone else experienced this, I'm wondering if there is still a chance it won't all fall out! I myself have suffered with alopecia all my life and last 20 years totalis, I so don't want my daughter to go through what I have done, I'm finding it hard to cope with and plus she has a twin sister which I think will make it harder on her

Thank you

Keely

Good morning, I sent you a friend request. I am the mother of a daughter with AU. I totally understand what you are going through as a mother. I do not have AA but my mother in law had a form of alopecia. The national alopecia aerate foundation is a good place to start with information regarding children. My daughter found comfort in wearing the best human hair wig possible designed for medical hair loss. I actually traveled to China and met with 6 factories over a period of two days and made a selection of one factory that I believe can provide my daughter with the best wigs at a fraction of the cost. There is a very big mark up on HH wigs and I knew that she would not be able to afford them at $5,000 and up. This is why I researched the industry for over a year and then traveled there. If I can be of any help write me or call me. My email address is georged5050@gmail.com   Lisa (ALOMOM)

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm so hoping she doesn't have to wear a wig but will see how she goes, we have noticed some patches have new hair growth and she is seeing a dermatologist this Friday not sure what they will do though x
