hi....my 11 year old was told she had alopecia areata about 2 and a half months ago...she has a bald spot on the back of her head and around her ear has been feeling tingly and itchy and i have noticed there is less hair around that ear than the other....i am also noticing that her hair seems to be breaking...i dont know if that is also due to the alopecia...when i brush her hair i find that a lot comes out also...i have found out that another member of my familys child also has alopecia…

hi.my name is sian and i have a 11 year old daughter who has just been diagnosed with alopecia areata....only found out about 3 weeks ago so it is still sinking in...i saw this website and thought it might be useful to be in contact with people who have the same thing in common..
