Erynn’s Alopecia Journey
Over four years ago, Erynn’s mom found a small bald spot in Erynn’s hair. Then another bald spot formed and they merged into one softball-sized bald spot. Her hair began to fall out like tinsel, so her mom scheduled an appointment with a local dermatologist and Erynn was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. An autoimmune disease, that causes your body to attack her hair follicles, and presently there’s no cure.
After years of experimental treatments that included steroid ointments, scalp injections, and driving to Jackson every 6 weeks, the treatments stopped working and the Alopecia Areata turned into Alopecia Totalis. Erynn lost all of her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and they were devastated! Erynn has not let Alopecia stop her! To know her is to love her and she’s involved in Girl Scouts, dancing, and cheerleading!
You can view Erynn’s story on her Facebook page Erynn’s Alopecia Journey. We decided to document Erynn’s Alopecia Journey to educate and being awareness about Alopecia to family and friends, with hopes of linking with other families that are going through the same thing.
