About Me:: Mother of 15 year old son with Alopecia. I have had Alopecia as a young adult for about 1 year. I am anxious for my son as he is having a difficult time with this experience. It started July '08 lost most of his hair by September and then eyelashes eyebrows body hair AU. We live in a world of so much diversity however when it is about the exterior there are double standards. To put much more emphasis on this for me as a parent with a teen dealing with this I am in the process of selling a hair salon and am still working there.

I have had Alopecia Areata since I was 12.
I finally accepted my alopecia after the tyra show.
I enjoy the National Alopecia Areata Foundation Confences because i met alot of people who know what i face with Alopecia.

I also find that Alopecia World is very helpful because you get to talk to people with alopecia.

Hi Jean, Yes, I understand the struggle. I also know the struggle that parents have. But has you can see many of these kids grow to be well adjusted adults with careers, relationships, victories and struggles. It is just a matter of find our place of acceptance and going from there. Keep in touch! Cheryl
