Hi! I'm a mother of a 6 year old little boy with AT. He was diagnosed with AA when he was 2. He had patchy spots at first, came out, came back, you know the vicious cycle. The last time it came out, I just decided to shave it. Since, his eyebrows and lashes have came out. He's in kindergarten and I must say, he's a special little guy! He loves living life to the fullest! He's a normal child in all other ways. I found this website by accident really, but am so glad I did! I look forward to chatting with ppl with the types of Alopecia and sharing experiences!!
Hi April! Tell Logan we said HI! we're doing well finally got some sun out here. So MIkey gets to enjoy some of it. But he has to learn he has to wear a cap at all times. I always laugh cause he has such light skin everyone thinks that maybe his daddy is a white guy i just agree and say that he is but he really is dark! He just took my light color. Daddy gets mad. But with his hair growth he has some white fuzzy hair growing in in some areas but not in others. Did Logan lose all his hair and then regrow or did he lose spots and regrow then lose it all? Im wondering what Mikeys odds are in this? The dr told me kids whose lose only spots regrow and then lose again but rarely have totally regrowth but kids like Mikey who lose it like he has have a greater chance of regrowth but no gurantee that the pattern will not repeat itself. which is what i dread. Im having better days, Mikeys getting more comfortable with taking off his cap in public. Its not so oblivious when daddy cuts his hair really short plus its just in the back. But he is still losing the hair that is still there. Eyebrows and lashes are still intact and i hope they stay that way. Im concerned cause he wants to start pre school this coming school yr worried cause i cant protect him from other kids :( or even parents for that matter. Also cause i want him to play soccer and i wonder if his is able to wear a bandana in a game. Is Logan in any sports now? In summer does his head ever get sun burned? Was is the risk of fungus on his head while wearing a cap in the summer? I know these may sound weird but its all the stuff i wonder. LOL! I know my boys does get fungus on their heads in summer while nthey wear caps but they have hair that absorbs the sweat. So gross. LOL! Does anyone else in your family have alopecia as well? Unsure about alot of this . Sux sure wish i could fix the issue at hand. But what the heck this is my crazy hectic down right beautiful life to live and i love it!
LMAO!! April! so true adults stare at him more than kids do right now. Kids do stare to since he does have shaved spots in the back. As for preschool really undecided about it. worried more cause adults are cruel and may make remarks to him being weird or something and i dont want him to feel different. we already know he is different we dont need people to point it out to him :( right now its easy friends come over and everyone accepts him just as he is. its the outsiders who are our invaders like his daddy said its easy because we have support close by its the outside world he worries about. he may punch someone really. so we just try to go about our business and shop and stuff its like in and out with his daddy for me and the kids we take our time. i can handle stupid people nicely unless i need to be mean and nasty. my friends laugh and say theyd never wanna be my enemy! LOL! I may be little but its the little ones you need to watch out for! And im the mom who will protect her babies no matter what. Take care of your selves and kit >)
