Frontal fibrosis alopecia
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:40 am
Hi,
I was diagnosed with this type of alopecia in December last year. I think it had been going on for some time as I had lost my eye brows a couple of years ago but didn’t realise my hair line was receding so much. I was given Dermovate cream to put on my hair line once a day which I think has helped, I no longer have the rough feeling at the hair line but I am still losing hair which may be due to something else. I was supposed to have a follow up appointment in March but it was cancelled, I was given a second appointment in October but that has also been cancelled and they have given me a telephone consultation in December, I’m not sure that will be of much help.
My problem now is this has left the hair at the front very weak and I am very conscious of this and am finding it very difficult to get my hair to look good. I am wondering what can be done, if anything, to help with this. I have been looking at wigs which would be alright in some situations, but it’s not ideal. Have you any suggestions please.
Thanking you in advance,
Sue
