Just diagnosed

My hairdresser, who also cuts my five year old daughter's hair, found a dime size completely bald spot on August 7, 2010. This original spot has not changed at all since then, but on this past Friday I found two more. I took her to see her pediatrician yesterday and he confirmed the diagnosis. He basically told me that I must have patience as the hair could take a year to grow back or worst case scenario she could loose all hair including eyelashes and eyebrows. I was fully aware of this since this site was part of my research on Friday night after panickin there were more spots. I was so upset at first, but this site was so uplifting. It was great to see all of the stories and blogs of different circumstances and phases of Alopecia. It helps knowing there is group I can turn to no matter what direction this takes us!

Yes those 75%+ are when you hear "oh my friends sisters neighbors aunt had that in college" but it grew back after exams! I know that my son it not in the 75% his nail have been compromised and at one point he had lost an eyebrow each time his hair falls out it is a bit worse. He is to young for me to think that it's over I do HONESTLY think that his AA will be AU or AT one day but as I said, right now treatment works for him and if his hair NEVER falls out again he will still FOREVER have at the very least Alpoecia! It was nice talking with you did you check out his pics?
