She didn’t stop swimming because she stopped loving it. She didn’t stop dancing because the music changed. She stopped because something inside her shifted. When frontal fibrosis alopecia (ffa) a relative of lichen planopilaris (a form of cicatricial alopecia) entered her life, it did more than affect her scalp. It quietly took her self esteem, her security, and the ease of showing up in the world the way she used to. She kept it private. She smiled. And she suffered in silence. In this episode, I want to speak to the part no one sees. The moment you realize you are grieving who you were before hair loss. The loneliness of carrying it alone. And the relief that can come when you finally name what is happening and build a plan. If you are searching for the best treatment for scarring alopecia, this conversation is for you. There is a way forward and you do not have to do it quietly. Stay tuned for the full episode. #lichenplanopilaris #cicatricialalopecia #scarringalopecia #hairline #medicaleducation Dr. Umar Hair & Skin Clinic located in Manhattan Beach, CA
