Second Opinion.

Ok I know that a second opinion is not going to come out as the doc saying it’s all just a bad dream that is not such thing as Alopecia. But I have decided to get a second opinion because of the first derm we went to. The nerve of some people, this derm as so SO rude you wouldn’t believe it. Our first visit was no help at all, the doc walked in and said "yep its alopecia. looked at me and said I just wanted you to know that because she is under the age of 18 and she has alopecia there is a 100%… Continue

Interesting story about dermatologists. Terrible! How are you both doing? I know that sometimes the moms have a lot harder time with alopecia than the children. Anyway, I wanted to say hello. I've had aa for about 30 years.

I know how u feel the first derm I took my daughter to walked in the room looked at my daughter from across the room and said she has alopecia, I dont treat that or children. I left so upset and luckly found a childrens derm that was absolutely wonderful my daughter Loves him. Try and stay strong, its easy to breakdown for our children. Its been a over a year and I still have my days.

At 2:33pm on June 27th, 2008, MARIA (mom of Savanna) said…: Hello Jennifer, Thank you for the firend request, I also read your blog and I almost cried just reading it, I could only imagine what you had to go through that day. My daughter Savanna was diagnoised with AA when she was 3yrs old actually it was a couple months before she turned 3. She is now 6 yrs old and AU, it didnt take long for her to lose all her hair, it was about 2 or 3 months and she was completly bald it took a lil longer for her to lose her eyebrows and eyelashes.

Her derm. was a woman and extremly senstive to the issue and a wonderful woman at that. I choose not to do any treatments at this time, I dont want her submitted to anything painful. I honestly believe when it is ready it will grow back on its own.

Savanna being bald has changed her life in some aspects, but she still lives a wonderful life, We give her all our love and tell her everyday how beautiful she is. She still does everything she wants to do. If you have any question or would just like to talk sometime, Just feel free to ask....Maria

Just thought I would share that I am a 23 year old female from CT and I first got bald spots on my head when I was in the 2nd grade(what is that 7 or 8 years old??) and I have never lost all of my hair. I did not go through the injections because I was way too scared but I did try every cream imaginable. I have lost up to 90% of my hair, but never all of it and now I have 95% of my hair back and it has been back since before high school.
Every situation is different, that is a promise I can make you...no one knows for sure what will happen with your daughter so please do not let anyone tell you otherwise...You cannot even try to predict what the future holds, all you can do is support her and keep telling her how beautiful and special she is...If you could, come to the conference next year and have your daughter meet other people with alopecia or attend a support group with other kids so she can see that she is not alone!
I am so sorry that doctor was so rude and unfortunately, this world is a cruel place...Just keep showing her your support and keep hope regardless of what people say. Good luck and please feel free to contact me for anything!

I think just seeing others living thier lives with alopecia is so important and I think a photo... says a 1,000 words. Take care. Cheryl
