My daughter, Maria, who is almost 5, was recently diagnosed with alopecia. It's been extremely hard for a while, but i am dealing with it now. My main goal righ now is to make her as comfortable as i can about her condition.
Hi Ala,
Your daughter is too cute! She's beautiful. Yes, the sulfasalazine seems to be a safe treatment, and we're hoping that Haylei's hair continues to return. She is monitored closely by her doctor, and he is in full agreement with her treatment, as sulfasalazine is one of the oldest medications. If your daughter can tolerate sulfa based medicine and your willing to see it thru I think it is definitely an option that should be explored. The mother that recommended to us told us to not expect to see anything for at least 6 months, but within a year it should all return (as her daughters did, and she still has all of her hair). We actually are seeing hair starting to return and it hasn't been a full 4 months yet. So we, like you, are both hopeful and prayerful. Let me know if you have any questions, we're here.
Hopefully you can get the time off and join us, even if you come at 2pm...I maybe moving our meetings to Sun pm's, b/c I have a schedule conflict with Saturday's. But, nothing is definite yet. I did not know you can use latisse for the brows, interesting. We are just continuing with our thing and progress in due time..Sam seems to be getting brows now, but we will see if they stay. in past she gets afew hair that don't say, but this time she has alot more..Cross your fingers!
