- About Me:
- 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.

How's school? Are you excited that it's almost over?
From, Alex
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?
My daughter Kelly is seven and has spotty AA too. We also live upstate NY. And just like you, Kelly and I (her mom) spoke to her class each year to tell them about alopecia You sound like a confident, spunky kid! If your mom wants to contact us, please do so! It would be fun to meet new friends
How are you? Good job on telling your class! I have to do the same thing sometimes in school, and I know it can be hard to do.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever met anyone else with alopecia? My mom and I live in the city (Staten Island) and we have been trying to get some sort of support group/ activity (or something alone those lines) for kids in the New york City area that have never met others with alopecia. We still don't know what, if anything, we are going to do, but it's a work in progress.
Have a good week!

I'm glad you are doing well with your alopecia. I hope you attend the conference. There are many other wonderful kids there with alopecia. It always helps to know someone else
my daughter is four and she has alopecia as well. I like reading your post because it shows me that you are very brave and confident. I hope my daughter will have your confidence when she is your age.
You are so brave and wonderful! What you did in class is just exactly the right thing to do!
I had horses when I was seven, too.
