Finally, A Diagnosis= Alopecia Areata

Many of you might not know what this is, but the main definition is "a type of hair loss that is believed to be due to a malfunction of the immune system. Typically round or oval bald patches develop suddenly." Unfortunately, this is what we have now figured out that Ember has. I found the first patch back in June. A week later I found another one. We went to the doctor and had her treated for ringworm since we thought that was what she had since the dog had it. But after two months of it not getting any better we went to a dermatologist at the end of August and were told that she had Alopecia Areata. More bad news came when the Dr told us there was no cure. So we are now playing the waiting game to see if this will go away or get worse. We are hoping and praying that the hair will grow back and then she will never have to deal with this ever again.
In the meantime, yes, my post pregnancy hormones make me very emotional about the fact that my little girl has bald spots in her beautiful hair. I am also running out of cute hair ideas that will hide the spots. She has one right next to each side of her natural part, which is right down the middle. So if you have any cute ideas that won't pull her hair too tight, feel free to email me a picture!
