Hi Hillary,

I'm curious how your daughter is doing today. Our almost five year old was just diagnosed in early July. I'm interested in having her tested for allergies and trying to change her diet. I hope you are all doing well.

Thanks. Vikki

Hi Hillary, did you make a apt at Children's with our doctor? How is everything going?

Hi Hillary, it was nice talking to you the other day. Did you call our doctor?

Hi Hillary,
My daughter has had alopecia for 3 yrs now ever since she was 4. She is 7 now and just started back up at school today. She wasn't teased but alot of her classmates kept asking what was wrong with her hair. Most of the top of her hair is bald. She just has the back and the sides of her head with hair on it. She is going through a stage where she doesnt want to talk about it. She is keeping it inside which I dont think is good for her. But I wont push her at the moment, How is your daughter affected by it? I hope she is okay.

Hi Hillary, my name is Cindy and I am mom to a 7 yr old girl with this condition. Welcome to AW. It is a great place for support. I wanted to let you know that I am started a support group here in MA that meets bi-monthly in Hopkinton. The kids that attend thus far have been 4-9 yrs old. The group is supported by the Children's Alopecia Project. www.childrensalopeciaproject.org. You can find my contact info on their website or feel free to email me if your interested in learning more about our group. We are having a Big and Littles Event in Boston on Sept 26th. Details are on the website, but if your interested in more info feel free to email me..How is your daughter doing?

You might want to look into materials to take to school. There's a free children's video just for that purpose, and written info too, available from the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, at www.naaf.org. Go to the bottom right of the home page and you'll find a place to click to get more info!

Hi Hillary,
Nice to meet another local. I don't know of too many of us around! If I can be any help or support to you, please let me know. There are not a lot of resources in the area for alopecia. Best of luck to you!
