Need Some Pixie Dust

**kakn7294** · 01-31-2011, 09:09 PM

My DD 11 has been losing her hair in clumps for the past week. Took her to pediatrician who had no answers but recommend a dermatologist. Finally found a dermatologist that can see her tomorrow (most were 1 - 6 months away) but we're expecting an ice/snow storm overnight which is why I was able to get the appointment - from the cancellations. Please send pixie dust that we can keep the appointment and find out what's going on and put a stop to it!

Enjoying it more than I thought I would. I was a little overwhelmed by the size at first and, for the first hour or so, I didn't like it at all. Now it's grown on me and I think it's a great resort. Thanks for asking and keep us posted on your daughter.

Sending lots of

your way so you can make the appointment and get good news from the doctor!

Weather was a factor but we made the appointment. She was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. There's no cure and treatment options are limited but hair can grow back, usually within 1 year for 80% of people affected with better odds for children. It's not linked to any other disease process so other than the hair loss, she's healthy. We were given a steriod cream to see if that helps and she goes back in 1 month.

I'm very glad to hear its nothing too serious Kathy. That doesn't sound like much fun, especially for a young lady, but I'm glad to hear it's not life or health threatening.

I'm glad to hear you got to the appt and they have an answer. I hope the treatment works for her. Pixie dust coming her way.
