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

could any of you tell me the dosage of the doxycycline that you are prescribed, please
ET I have emailled you at your private email addrress. It would be fantastic if you could be involved in Dr Christos Tziotzios research at Guy's hospital London. His details are in the factsheet I have sent you.
Asking our derms to use all possible treatment options.
Lasers - I believe that the hospital I attend for FFA, Salford Royal, has a laser machine. On the hospital's webiste it says that one of the derms Dr Janice Ferguson is doing research using lasers on another condition (scleroderma). However laser treatment is not offered to FFA patients at this hospital. Any ladies that are due to see the derms at Salford Royal may like to elect to try laser treament. I have only just become aware that the hospital has laser equipment.
Hi,
I've been reading the comments and I'm behind the curve. Who is Dr. T? It might be interesting to get into this study and my sister and I both have FFA. I'm getting tested but it's pretty obvious. Also how would I get a copy of the fact sheet. Thanks for your help. I don't even know if I'm posting my questions in the right area.
Please drop me an email and I will send a factsheet to give you website addresses and an overview on FFA, drug and non-drug options, tattooing, wigs - where to buy, how to wash/cut them etc..
Thanks Pam, I have put the CARF website details on the factsheet, it is really intended to point people to the right places online with website addresses etc.. plus info I have got from ladies on this site and derms I have spoken to. It is a starting point for new ladies. CARF is a fantastic resource and their London patient meeting last month was terrific.
ET, you can get a list of dermatologists in your area via the CARF website. Good luck!
