This was such a fun day in Grand Haven, MI I highly recommend doing the MI Bike Tour with Alanna. Please check out her website for more information.
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with FFA .  I was not ready to accept it mentally because I was also dealing with skin cancer. I was not denying I had FFA, but I did not think it was necessary to stress about it or use steroids for treating it.
I’m beginning to realize a wig is my best option, but I have no idea where to start.
I’m documenting this journey and I’m hopeful my yt community will provide support and advice.
Here is a link to my video the day I was diagnosed with FFA:

This is a documentation of my Mohs Surgery for Basal cell carcinoma on my nose near my eye. I document from immediately after the procedure to 48 hrs following recovery. I will upload one week when my stitches are removed.
The brushes’ spinning motion removes dirt, makeup, and excess oil more thoroughly than your average washcloth – each pore gets individual attention :) The Spin-Care system has two interchangeable brushes so you can always be washing your face with a clean brush. The fine brush bristles gently removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores to reveal that radiant, fresh and clean skin hiding underneath. You’re both exfoliating and cleansing your skin! Exfoliation helps improve your skin’s appearance while elevating its ability to absorb skincare treatments post-wash. You can use this brush on any part of your body, not just your face. Arms and legs love a good exfoliation too! If you use the Radiance Spin-Care System before self-tanning, the exfoliation ensures your tan lasts longer and looks more natural. The pumice stone attachment is an incredible tool for softening the rough skin on your feet, elbows, and heels by removing calluses and dead skin cells with ease. The Radiance Spin-Care brush is waterproof and designed to be used in the shower. You don’t have to plug it in or charge it – just 4 AA batteries will keep it running like clockwork for months

She was very thorough and took a biopsy which I will hear back soon. She also discovered my hair loss. This was shocking news, however I am taking it in stride and will be researching and documenting as I continue learning.
Google is all I know so far: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of lichen planopilaris that is characterized primarily by slowly progressive hair loss (alopecia) and scarring on the scalp near the forehead. In some cases, the eyebrows, eye lashes and/or other parts of the body may be involved, as well
