Cortosone therapy seems to be the way forward for most Alopecia sufferers’ however having talked to my Dermatologist this week you can’t really use any creams of injections around the eye area as the risk of retina damage is too great. Which if your losing you eyebrows and eyelashes is a little dissapointing.
I’ll be interested in any feedback about treatments for the eye area that you have heard of.
