Hello!I was wondering if anyone has been tested for food allergies to determine if a particular food is causing inflammation, which in turn could exacerbate FFA. I had the skin test a couple of years ago at an allergy clinic, and it came back…Continue

Hi I don't post on here much so I may well be giving information which you might have been discussing already. Are any of you in the UK going to the Get Ahead of Hairloss event in London at the end of September? It has been organised by Dr Wong who…Continue

Thank you for your comments about Rogaine foam. I just started using the liquid and will stick with that form. I think foam might be easier for men with really short hair but the dropper method might work best for women. Are you actually growing hair with the Rogaine
Yes MJ, I just started using Rogaine foam as derm said it would be easier to apply. Far from it I found as it just goes all over on top of the hair itself and difficult to get it down into the scalp. I would imagine one has to divide up your hair and apply in sections. What a job that would be on a daily basis. Derm said just put on & rub all over scalp but you'd have to put quite a lot to actually get it down through the hair into the scalp.
Polly - that is great to hear your eyebrow tattoo went well. We are hoping to have a get together here again in Bucks when the weather is better - I'll send out a choice of dates as before and we'll make a best fit plan. Looking forward to seeing you then,
Very best wishes.
My hairpiece is supposed to last about a year, but if my hair recedes considerably during that time it will have to be made larger I suppose! It is all one piece, just a strip that goes across my forehead and sides exactly where I have lost my own hair.
I had it done by Rob Davidson-Lamb at Barefaced Medical Aesthetics, 127 Promenade, Cheltenham, GL50 1NW tel 01242 222690. They have a website giving more information on what they do.
Hi Pam,
I too wish that you can share some pics. It is very inspiring that you are able to find a way to live fully with FFA. I cannot go to your hair guy since I am in Canada but it would be great if I can show it to someone here who could probably help me design a hairpiece for the front and temple hairline.
