This Question is a trifle confusing.
If as per the query, you are 35 years old, you are a young parent and started life real early to have a 14 year old daughter (assuming that this is what you started to pen and NOT doctor...typos are common in today's social media world)..Vembu Sridhar has been advocating this recently on social media ;-) for start-up entrepreneurs & techies.
Alopecia Areata is both an easy condition to treat and rewarding when so & a stubborn condition to get rid of.
It all depends on the condition and social & psychological factors play a far larger role than envisaged by the general public.
Next Steps
Consult a Dermatologist who is empathetic and gentle with kids and listens to them and explains and boosts their self esteem
in-person. If you hail from Bangalore welcome across; Else Online Consultation 🙏
Health Tips
Don't bring up the issue repeatedly in front of the child. It will make them feel more self conscious and insecure.
