There was a girl in my DD's class who had alopecia. The first day of class the mom came in and read the kids a story about it with her DD sitting on her lap.The class was very encouraging and loved to see what the little girl would wear on her head each day - funky hat, color wig or regular wig. It was her glowing spirit that inspired everyone.
I also know a woman who got it as an adult. She decicded to shave her head when it got really bad. Again, her amazing spirit is an inspiration. She also radically changed her diet - went vegan, then raw vegan and swears it has helped more than any of the doctor's treatments.

I am sorry to hear that. But I would say go to the doctor and see what going on. My daughter was born without hair and never grew any. I know the feeling when other kids make fun of her, its heartbreaking.

My sister had a form of it. She had to have shots in her head, not as bad as it sounds. Today she has a full head of hair. -
We went to the Dr on Tuesday. She was diagnosed with alopecia areata. Now wee just play everything by ear.

Probably steroid. Since it is auto immune it helps with swelling and can help with hair regrowth. They are trying an ointment on my DD first.
