Hello - my niece is 3 years old and her mother recently took her to the dermatologist because her hair is rather thin, doesn't grow, and feels wirey. Many family members have been telling her that she needs to have her hair looked at because it doesn't look "normal". When she went to the Dr he told her that he hasn't seen anything like this in over 5 years and that she needs to see a specialist in Chicago. We now have an apt to see a specialist but I am also very anxious to hear what the prognosis of this condition might be. Her hair doesn't really fall out it just hasn't been growing. I'm very concerned becasue I know hair is very important to a young girl and I know there are larger problems that other are experiencing but I very nervous about the upcoming appointment. Have any parents/friends/relatives experienced this with a young child? Any thoughts or anything that I might want to research before she heads to the specialist?
Thanks!!!
