Hello everybody,
My son is six years old and has had AA since May 2006.
I have now checked my son's use of medicines through his six year long life (I asked my GP for a transcript of his use of medicines).
It appears that 3 months before we consulted a dermatologist regarding his first bald patch in May 2006 he was prescribed a type of penicillin called Vepicombin. When we discovered the last patch in December 2009 it was only three days after beginning with exactly the same type of medicine. Finally, 4 -5 months before the appearance of the bald patch that has developed and grown since March 2009 he was prescribed with another kind of penicillin (Primcillin). So now we have at least three cases of penicillin treatment given in somewhat proximity prior to each development of a patch. Has anybody made similar observations?
Hope that someone will ask their GP for a medicines transcript to see whether the AA could have been triggered by the use of penicillin (or other antibiotics). Thanks for any input.
