About Me:
My 13month old son was recently diagnosed with alopecia. I noticed patches appearing on his head a month or 2 ago, but thought it was just from rubbing. I'm hping this is going to be temporary and go away but am trying to be prepared in case it doesn't go away.
Right now, he has several small patches, none completely bald, but the top of his head, the hair is very thin. This is kind of one big patch. My son had chicken pox a few months ago and is slightly low in iron, so weare giving him fer-in-sol drops. Just started this week. Hping that this helps. If anyone has any advice or experience with alopecia at such a young age, I'd lvoe to ehar from you. Thanks!

    I thought Newark would still be pretty warm.

    Hi Fizza,

    Thanks for contacting me. To be honest since I shaved my head in July (all I had left was on the top of my head) it started to grow back right away and is now thicker and darker than it has ever been and it is growing in curly. You say your son is 14 months old. Has he been diagnosed with alopecia or do you just think this is what it might be? I only ask because baby's hair does tend to thin and fall out. My dr. did tell me that there is a type of alopecia where it breaks off just before the root. I am hoping that my hair returning is a good sign although weirdly I have dreams quite often of it falling out again. Eeek!!
