Hi Heather. Yes, it does seem to be that way, doesn't it? That's alopecia for you, you never know what to expect. Melissa is terrified of needles! We tried to do the shots, but he never even got the 1st shot in. It's not worth the trauma for her, IMO. But I'm glad it works for your daughter.
We have done cortisone cream and Rogaine in the past. This time around, just sporadic use of Rogaine..
hi heather.
yes it is hard for teenagers but i am getting through it very well most of my friends know that i have alopecia but they dont really see the seriousness in it.
Hi Heather!! I'm sorry to learn that your daughter has suffered from AA since age four. I hope you are able to find a new dermatologist and that the treatment helps your daughter slip right into remission. I wonder if there is a National Dermatology Association that you could contact for a referral? Maybe you could even contact the State Board of Dermatology in your new state. I wish you & your sweet daugther the best!!
