Hello Littlesadeyes,

I have had ffa for 4 years and my hair loss consists of bald spots about 1.5 inches in diameter. Lots of bald spots on the hairline that have joined together making a complete band of hairless scalp.  Yours seems a little different. It seems like more diffuse loss along the hairline. I am using some dark eye shadow along the hairline then I pull the hair over the affected area. I am wearing my hair curly now.  It seems very unusual that someone so young is suffering from  this condition.  

Hi Littlesadeyes,

I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I do believe that this disease has something to do with menopause.  Your hair loss looks different from mine so I am wondering if it really is ffa. You say that there are no white shiny spots where the hair was before and also it does not seem like you have spots. If it is not the scarring type then your hair may grow back.  I had this happen when I was in my 20's. I am now 59.
