Time for a Second opinion

We were tired of going to the same dermatologist and we feel they weren't giving us the answers we need so we called the children's hospital in Philadelphia, PA.
February was our appointment we arrived in Philly(about 2 hour drive from our house) and they checked Kayce out very well saying you can tell it's Alopecia from the white dots on her nails but they were wondering why her skin was very dry all over her body. They scrapped some skin off of her head and clipped a toenail and sent them both to the lab just to make sure its not a fungal infection. They said that her ringworm may have jump started the Alopecia so they wanted to try a new treatment. A steroid. They said they usually don't give steroids to children her age but with her case it may very well work. They also prescribed her a topical cream to rub on her head to help the dryness.
I was iffy about the oral steroid medication, but at this point anything to help her hair to grow back!

Today February 13th, 2014 we started the new treatment! Fingers crossed this works!!
