Children's Hair Loss Problems

Case 1 - Owen ( pictured above and to the left )

My Name is Sue I am the very proud mother of Owen, a bright, happy little boy. When Owen was 18 months old we noticed a penny sized patch of hair on his scalp appeared to have rubbed away. We all thought nothing of it, one of those things. Until a few weeks down the line Owen started to lose hair on his crown and the sides of his scalp.

By this point I was extremely upset and worried, mainly because I thought he had an underlying medical condition, was being stressed or some other reason for this to happen. I even blamed it on a holiday we had taken to Lapland earlier in the year. We took Owen to the local GP who then referred us to a Dermatologist who diagnosed Alopecia areata. We were given steroid cream and sent home. Explaining the fact it was an immune system disorder, and would probably clear itself up.

So me being the worried mum I applied the steroids and it did nothing for Owen, in fact the condition got worse, eventually to the point Owen had lost nearly 70% of his hair. After these initial consultations we were never seen again, so no sort of support.

Also I am the type of person who never gives up on anything! So I looked on the internet, yes I know I can hear the alarm bells! I then came across Calosol. I thought Ok, I am a skeptic but we really don't have anything to lose.

I made the first order, and the second, and the third. Then after three months of using a combination of Gel during the day time, and oil at night and massaging it in well we had regrowth!  All of the spots were covered. And I thought Wow!, this is great. Then only six weeks down the line we had another spell of hair loss not quite as rapid as the first but it was noticeable. I was going through all of the emotions again and then I thought... I am not giving up. So we carried on again. It has taken us another 8 months to get to where we are now. But the nature of alopecia is that once it has a hold unless it is treated it becomes so rapid and aggressive it will take over, very, very quickly. The follicles close and the scalp just goes to sleep. Although the follicles are always still there. It's remarkable the recovery which Owen had gone through.

Calosol did it for Owen. Persistence, and patience and I believe he is on the road to recovery. Alopecia can be treated. And Calosol was the way we did it. Along with a fantastic support team at Calosol who are always willing to chat through any questions you might have along the way. Please hand on heart from a mum who was just left to get on with it. Trust me! Give it ago.
