Hi everyone, thanks for the add, I'm new to this website and just wanted to share my story so far.

I first realised there was something wrong when one hair follicle became inflamed and wouldn't heal, this was about 8 years ago. I went to a dermatologist who told me it was psoriasis. Very slowly I started to lose my hair, it was only when I looked at photos of myself I realised it was receding. I have very thick hair and thick eyebrows, that I needed to keep on top of constantly, then I could go weeks without having to tweeze.

I moved to Switzerland from the UK and when getting a full health check my doctor advised to get a biopsy, it just confirmed what I already knew that I had FFA. They prescribed Regain and something for the inflammation. It has gradually got worse but I can still hide it beneath my fringe. I totally lost my eyebrows now but have had them beautifully tattooed, wish I'd done it a long time ago!

So my question is, I've looked through some of the posts but can't see anything regarding hair transplants, I've read it's not a good idea but wondered if anyone has had the procedure?

 Many thanks!

Hi , I recently have been diagnosed with FFA and am interested in hearing about transplants ....I'm terrified it's going to get worse ☹️
