I just wondered if anyone had their AA begin after another illness. My 5 year old was diagnosed with AA...and this all happened after the magical "3 month mark" of several illnesses she had. 3 months prior she was diagnosed with an ear tumor, had a very bad flu like illness with a high fever for 4-5 days and contracted molluscum contagiosum (a viral skin disease). It seemed she had the perfect storm and her poor little body went through so much.

I am curious if anyone else had their hair loss begin after a similar situation (of illness). Every doctor and dermatologist tells me that it is just AA and it is unpredictable, don't know what triggers it, blah blah blah. When I ask if it could be from her being sick they just say "well I have never heard of that before".

Please share.

What about the medication used to treat the illness ?
