Any ideas on how to help prevent excess sweating on a 4 year old's head? My son Max has AA and is completely bald, he likes to wear baseball caps outside but his head is bugging him and he is sweating a bunch. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He wants to wear a hat outdoors but I am not sure what to do to help him.
rebecca finlaw left a comment for erica herrera (elijahs mom)"Hi Erica,
My son started pre-school this year. I sent a letter all the parents to create awareness of Alopecia, and that seemed to help. I think false eyebroys would be difficult too. Max has super blond eyebrows and always wished for eyebrow like…"

Brows and lashes?
Posted on November 4, 2009 at 9:41am 1 Comment 0 Favorites
my son's eyelashes and brows have started to come back slowly but haven't darkened in color. any comments? his doctor said they would come back but now I am doubtful, hair is re-growing on his head but it is in patches, and is turning dark so that makes me wonder about his brows and lashes even more, thanks for any help
ANY ADVISE??

My son Max is 2 and has been diagnosed with alopecia since he was 15 months old. He is completely bald and has lost all of his eyelashes and eyebrows. I am wondering if anyone could give me advise on how to help his eyes from becomming so irritated. Also. sunblock has become a problem too since it gets in his eyes when he swims (even the waterproof kind) I feel so badly for him and I want him to be able to enjoy himself outside this summer. He does wear a hat but doesn't want to keep it on when… Continue

- Hi Rebecca.
Thanks for the comment about the blonde hair. I remmeber readign your post about your son's eyelashes coming in blonde. Did they just fall out again? I never saw an update? Did his hair - even the dark ones - not stay. Sorry for all te questions. I feel like we're riding the same boat but you've got a better view than me. My son is 16months now and has lost all but a few tiny patches on his head. He has lots of regrowth but it is white - looks like peach fuzz but feels sharp when I touch his head. He has some tiny lil black hairs or nubs too but most of it is white. Our boys are still gorgeous and I pray that they recover some of their hair one day.

- I have been allergic all my life..and accept it.
I do everything.....not going to let anythibng come in my way!
Except for cats...love them so much..but cannot be in the same house with them.
Although, since growing older the sun has a negative effect on my eyes.
Hopefully Max will have little to no problems at all and grow up healthy.
He's an adorable little man..my grandson who is three years old is growing his hair to DONATE to the princess charlotte foundation in order to supply another young person with alopecia a prosthesis.
I would pray that he's going to be so strong..that a wig will never be something he needs.
I love the beauty and look without hair.
It's people and the lack of understanding which cause negative perceptions.
I really think he has to develope confidence and lets pray that the kids at school are educated before that negative damage begins.
I guess you are aquainted with the childrens Alopecia Group..something I wish we had when I was young.
He may be allergic to the sun block which could be irritating his eyes
somehow..if it gets too close.
My kids cannot wear sunblock..they get a rash and serious irritation.
Also..he may just be sensitive to the chlorine.
That causes irrtitation and burning too.
SO YOU MAY HAVE A REALLY HEALTHY LITTLE MAX AFTER ALL!
All the best
