My daughter is going bald!

bump sorry I have no experience

BUMP!

Go to the dermatologist.  Find out exactly is going on.  I've known several kids who were bald, and they wore scarves or wigs, and NO ONE made fun of them.  Of course, they were bald because they had cancer.  Being bald because of alopecia, or a dermatological disorder, is far preferable.  And stop making this a big deal.  It will only be upsetting for your daughter if YOU continue to act upset. 

Sorry you are dealing with this. My dd has super thin hair and has a spot in the middle of her hair but its not a bald spot.

There's a boy in my sons class who has a huge bald spot right in top. No one makes fun of him.

I'm sorry, but as a mother of a child who has had 4 massive brain surgeries and been seriously ill, I find it really sad and mean when mothers to tell other mothers not to be upset or sad or worried about what their kids are going through just because its not catastrophic. :/

Just because she doesn't have cancer doesn't mean it won't affect her to be "different" from her peers in a society that is so focused on looks.

OP- I hope you get some answers, and I hope that if she is permenantly affected, you both become stronger, more gracious people because of it! *HUGS*

Thank you. I know this isn't something huge compared to the worst that can happen to her, I lost my first son sure to a blood infection that caused him to become septic and stopped his heart, he was just under a month old when we took him off life support. Trust me I get this isn't something to make a big deal of, and around her I don't because I don't want her to think it is. But that doesn't stop me from worrying that if she does lose all her hair she may be hurt emotionally from those out there who have mean spirits. Thank you for understanding that
