I'm a seven year old girl in first grade who has alopecia areata. I have lost 80% of my hair. I don't want to wear wigs so I just wear hats. I like horses, soccer, smores and picking on my older brother. My mom and I told my class about alopecia areata and now I feel soo much better because I don't have to be afraid of what my friends will say they like me the way I am. (my mom, kim, has typed this up for me.
HI
We initially tried probetesol topically, short term. Kelly hated the oilyness and we decided it was not worth it. Kelly is meds free and continues to have spots that come and go. We do have her take biotin and MSM as well as her multivitamin daily, but that's it.
Where upstate are you?
Hi Abby, my daughter Samantha is 6 years old and will be going into 1st grade in the fall. She has had AA for one year now. She started school with hair and lost it all by January. She loves to wear her wig and hairdannas. We live in Massachusetts, but visit NY often. It is nice to hear you had a good experience at school. Cindy
