Sandy, you could'nt have been more wonderful. I give Atianna hugs and kisses daily, she is so sweet.
Now that i found this site, i see that the shedding is one of the signs. Now that i look back her hair shedded greatly and had to be cut when she was about five years old. I didnt seek help because i thought it was just one of thoes things, and of course it grew longer by just washing and conditioning. My worries came with the bald spot that progressed from a spot to about quarter size. she got treatment and hair grew back. Now here we are about a year later with shedding. I am the worry wart, she is ready to go wig shopping....now that is typical of a nine year old.
This is Chandler's mom. Her hair had a patch at first and then began shedding. It is still shedding and that is how she is losing her hair. It is very frustrating, especially when she brushes her hair, the hair brush gets full of hair. What kind of medication did your daughter get?
Thanks for your reply, she used clobetasol.
