My 4 year old daughter was just diagnosed

Hi I'm Jade I don't know where to begin I have been on a emotional breakdown for the last month and then 2 days ago it was all confirmed but in a way I never got very many answers. My daughter had a small spot now its the size of a quarter,I was told it was AA go home theres nothing I can do I see myself always thinking the worse and I would like to know some advice from other people. I have alot of people saying don't worry it is what it is which I know but I just feel so helpless.

Hi Jade

I know the lack of control is the most difficult thing to deal with. I have been where you are and know that it is just plain hard.

Take a breath and know with out a doubt you can handle this, you will find your way and this is not going to be unacceptable for you or your daughter.

With regards to getting upset...that's fairly natural and something that you will learn to work through. Talk to your daughter about your feelings and make her fully understand that you are not upset with her and that there is nothing she has done to make you worried or upset. Say it is the silly alopecia and that you understand that isn't her or your fault that she has it, but you just sometimes get a little sad about it.

Hugs for you both.

most doctors don't know what is going on..

try finding a doctor who specializes in hair loss or a derm who has dealt with alopecia patients before... it makes a HUGE difference...

my derm when i first got AA had no idea what was going on and she made me feel more stressed and like i would never recover, my derm now gives me much more hope and explains my condition to me so much better.

it's really about finding the right person to treat you.
