Children Hair Loss can be Treated

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder of the skin that results in partial or total hair loss. It is unpredictable, although often genetic and it usually begins in childhood. The disorder occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the body's hair follicles as if it were a disease, squeezing the follicles so that hair can’t grow. If your child is losing hair and developing round, smooth bald patches, he may have alopecia areata. Although approximately 5 million Americans suffer from alopecia areata, there is little knowledge of it amongst the public. Campaigns have been formed to bring awareness to it and to raise money to study the mysterious disorder. The fact that alopecia is not commonly known makes it even harder on people that suffer from it and must walk around bald. Women and children are especially treated with prejudice when they have no hair. Alopcia areate is a very visible condition. While it is very common and can affect people of all ages, many people still do not know about it and may react negatively to your child's appearance. This is why NAAF stresses the importance of educating the administration, teachers and fellow students of your child about alopecia areata. Make sure they know that your child is not sick, that alopecia areata is not contagious, and that it will not limit a child from doing all of the activities that other children do. This is especially important in a classroom setting. Children who have alopecia areata and their family often experience a variety of feelings and frustrations, including feeling isolated, depressed, hopeless, angry and embarrassed. It is also not uncommon for them to experience feelings of loss and grief. For the child hair loss, he/she may also fear that others will find out about his condition, blame himself for his disease, be frantic for a cure, or feel guilty about how it affects his family. Parents may feel guilty about genetically contributing to their child's alopecia areata. They may feel helpless about their inability to ease the disease progression and/or their child's pain. Siblings and members of the extended family may also feel guilt, shame and anger about how the disease affects their lives as well. Due to the nature of this disease, it is often experienced as a trauma, which furthers these psychological impacts. The alopecia treatments include cortisone injections to the bare skin patches, 5 percent topical minoxidil solution applied twice daily to the bald spots, and anthralin cream or ointment applied once daily and washed off after 30 to 60 minutes. The available treatments stimulate the hair follicles to produce hair again. These treatments must be continued until the disease turns itself off.
