42yo, married with two kids, recently diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia which has devastated me. Want to know contributing factors such as sunscreen use as I wear it daily and wish to protect my children from developing this disease. Our sun is extremely damaging. Hoping to find support through this page, and hope.
