I'm new to alopecia but trying to learn more about it. We found out today that my 2 year old daughter does have alopecia. I'm feeling helpless and alone but I'm trying to focus on all the positive things in her life, and this site helps sooo much with that!
Hi Shay, your daughter is the cutest thing? This condition can take a toll on us as parents emotionally. Once you have time to absorb it all things will get better. How are you and your daughter doing? I hope you find the comfort in this site that we do..Cindy
I want to add, that you should contact the childrens alopecia project. They maybe able to help you locate a family in your area for local support. They are great..www.childrensalopeicaproject.org..Your daughter is cute no matter what!!
Hello and welcome, Shay!
There is also a lot of good information on the National Alopecia Areata Foundation web site. When she is ready for school, you can get a free school pack which includes a video that the teachers can play for the school to help everyone understand the condition.
