The dermatoligist we went to suspects Alopecia, but wants to rule out other possible causes. He took a culture to rule out a fungus. Blood work is being done to rule out a thyroid condition his Mother has, and I guess can be passed on.
Meanwhile, his hair is getting much worse, and as he approaches baldness, we're thinking of just shaving his head. It's very trying, and his Mother is becoming very emotional over this. So, I sure hope we can figure it out and turn it around.
