    Wow..thats awesome that you shaved your head for your daughter! I have alopecia and so does my six years old daughter! I was just diagnosed in February and it really hurt my self esteem alot, but then a month later I found a bald spot in the back of her hair! So sad...well good luck to all of you!

    Happy Birthday!!! Your daughters are beautiful as are you. I have much respect for you for shaving your head for your daughter. My friend Lori also keeps her head shaved for her 6 y/o daughter with Alopecia. Big hugs to you and again, Happy Birthday from a fellow Cancerian. (mine was yesterday!!)
    Love and Hugs,

    How old is your daughter? Was she born with the Alopecia or was it a gradual process? If it is too personal to share, that too is fine. I have my 5 year old that was born with extremely fine hair, soooo fine that sometimes I can see her scalp. I work in dermatology and know that first they would do a punch biopsy then depending on the kind of alopecia she has, I could start injections of steroid, but this stuff has side effects and to me I just dont want to subject her to that. I think it will be her decision. Your thoughts?

    Hi, my daughter will by 6 in May and she lost all her hair almost 3 years ago. I'm sure she'd love to be friends with your daughter. We live in Upstate NY near Syracuse. Even being penpals would be awesome, she loves getting mail.
