Thanks for your support! x
Hi Sas. I have had FFA for at least the past 3 years and my mum has it too for the past 6-7 years. She is 74, I am 43 x
Sas - if you look above on this page on the discussion forum you will see View All at the bottom - click onto this and go to page 4 - you will see the sheet compiled by Debs there.
hello C, I cannot find this info sheet from Debs, where do I have to look?
Haha, hello C, no problem and yes I am very grateful for alm the good advices here. Ik have yet not seen the sheet you mention from Debs, but I am going to look it up!
Hello again SAS - silly me - I should have read more about you before writing my last post !
Hello Sas - welcome to this site. It seems that in many cases the eyebrows are the first areas to disappear, SOLUTION - TATTOOS . Eyelashes can go too, or at least severely thin. SOLUTION you can have the eyelids tattoed - I just use a pencil. Self esteem also is affected - SOLUTION - support from friends and this site. Hairloss at the front and above the ears - SOLUTION - there are bespoke hairpieces that can be made - fantastic ! Have you read the info sheet that Debs created on this site ? Have you got a good dermatologist ? Where do you live ? Best wishes X
I mistakenly posted my questions on my discussion forum, but I think this is a better place isn't it?
I still have so many questions, since I got my diagnosis not very long ago, I am happy to have found this forum
For instance does anybody know if it is hereditary? Are there cases known where both mother and daughter(s) have FFA? Or is it also possible that you can loose eyelashes too?
MJ, I can see a light flaking on the areas affected by ffa, almost like dry skin. I've also noticed it on my arms around the hair follicles.
