- About Me:
- I am 24 years old and a nursing student at Mesa Community College. I started getting bald patches at the age of 20 and was diagnosed with AA. I lost about half of my hair and then in all grew back. I now just get a few small patches at a time. I have 4 daughters. My 3rd daughter who is now 3 was born with a full head of thick black hair. Around the time she turned one she started losing small patches and I assumed she had AA like me and they would just grow back... however they never did. She went on to lose all of her hair as well as her eyebrows and eyelashes. So, she has AU and doesn't seem to care at all. I make her wear hats outside during the day so she doesn't end up with skin cancer and she absolutely loves her hats, she has dozens. I would love for her to be able to meet other girls who are bald because she gets so excited when she sees anyone whos "hair went bye bye" like her.

My 2 babies have alopecia. I guess I should not say babies, my son is 9 and has AU and my daughter is 6 and had lost erverything, but has grown it back in the last year, without treatment. They are beautiful!! I just had a son about 6 months ago with my new husband. We are not sure yet if he will also develop the condition as well. Your daughter is beautiful!! Have you tried any treatment for her? I gave up and never tried anything after several attempts w/my son did not work. I love that you are here in AZ!!! We have a support group going on, you should come and join if you can. Take care and talk to you soon!

You have such a beautiful family! All your girls are just georgous!! So you have not only dealt w/ it yourself, but your dughter as well. I have been totally bald since I was five and am now 31. My 9 year old son has had some very small spots come out just this year, but they don't really seem to be getting any bigger, and they are growing back in. It's one thing to deal with it for yourself, but to see your child go through it must be way harder. I find myself obsessing over his small spots, and I NEVER did that w/ myself. So you go to MCC too!! I'm doing my pre-req's to get into the nursing program. How far along are you in the program? I want to leave you my email address. Email me w/ your name and number. I am a support group leader for poeple w/ alopecia, and we are just getting started w/ doing a children's group. It would be great to see you guys at our next meeting. my address is: sgomez33@cox.net I hope to hear from you soon! Hey, maybe we'll even run into eachother on campus!
