Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Terry - I stopped taking medication months ago. Had no faith in it and wasn't convinced that the derm had faith in it either. My FFA seems to be progressing slowly. I use dermovate (clobetasol) twice a day. The inflammation comes and goes. I eat healthily, don't drink alcohol and take Superdrug Hair Skin and Nails tabs as well as turmeric, evening primrose oil, calcium, vit D and B vits daily. I didn't like the effects of hydroxyl or doxy and actually feel better in myself without them and also taking meds made me feel like an ill person, if that makes any sense. I'm not ill, just unfortunately developed FFA, for whatever reason. I have read about this new wonder drug that seems to home in on A Areata as a variant that seems to benefit from it. I hope it really does help many people, but I'm not sure how FFA can be helped by taking it. I'm an active person, I gym , swim, cycle etc and just live in hope that one day The Cure will be found.
I wondered whether anyone else saw the article in yestredays Daily Mail about the new drug that has been used successfully to cure alopecia? Its called ruxolitinib. Any comments? Is this a potential possibility, or just a false hope?

Anne Louise, how beautifully you put it! So very glad you're enjoying your summer. I'll be heading up to Boston on Halloween.
Congrats, April, on your pregnancy, your skin changes already demonstrate how hormones affect our skin . . . and our hair. Your skin problems definitely sound like rosacea even though you weren't officially diagnosed.
I agree with Alice that while you're expecting you should steer clear of any attempts to affect your hormonal levels. That's why women of childbearing ages are told to stay away from Propecia and Avodart. Mother Nature will probably provide you with all the good hormones you need in coming months. Take care.
