I think its only on the face, BUT who knows!!! The only thing I`m learning is that not that much is certain and lots is uncertain. I`m looking into tattooing!

I have red spots between my eyebrows - on the bridge of my nose. CJ is it only on the face? I think I have a rash on my arms sometimes.

Funny you should say that CJ, when you look at my forehead under a light it looks as if I have got a rash under my skin. I wandered if it was to do with FFA, I was going to ask my derm next visit. Did you find any thing else interesting about ffa?

HI All,
I learned at the Skin Matters conference that FFA can cause 'bumpy skin' or bumps on the face. I have noticed that my skin along the jaw line had changed texture over the last year and I assumed it was age related but apparently it is something often seen in FFA. Its kind of crepe- like with bumps that look like very small emerging pimples that don't go on to become pimples... hard to describe really. anyone else have this?

I've been using Neutrogena T-gel shampoo for scalp irritation for about a year now. I've also tried Nioxin shampoo and conditioner but I use the t-gel more since it is less expensive. It seems to help control the itching and irritation pretty well. - Karen

Morning Liz, now you have told me you have good results with Nizoral shampoo I will definately give it a go. Thanks, popping off to Tesco shortly to stock up.. XXX

Hi Debs. I've used Nizoral shampoo before and it's fantastic for scalp iritation. I have used it a number of times of the years and it's always worked better than any prescribed hair treatments I've had :o)

Hello Ladies, I have found some other FFA folk on a webisite in the UK, the alopecia UK forum. I have asked a few of them what treatment they have and if it is working... One lady kindly told me she uses shampoos to help calm down inflammation; NIZORAL shampoo that is about £6, NIOXIN conditioner and sometimes another shampoo called POLYTAR. I have only just got this info so I can't say what they are like but it is a cheap option to try, I know it isn't a cure but if it can help control the inflammation it might be worth having a go.

my eyebrows are tattooed on. I had them done last November, so they have lasted a year and the colour is still good. I have a tiny bit of eyebrow hair left but had to always use a pencil to fill them in. It did not hurt. I think it definately is worth doing. For any ladies in the UK there is a clinic in Chertsey, Surrey that provides this service, I did not know about it last year when I had mine done but they do a lot of work with ladies that have alopecia.. If anyone would like their info I have kept the details. XXX
