Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Chelcey Salinger is a third- generation Trichologist!
After studying general medicine and applied science, she then studied with the International Association of Trichologists to follow in the footsteps of her Dad and Grandad. She had the pleasure of working alongside her Father before he retired.
Chelcey shares her knowledge on a Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia. This condition is common in Caucasian women, often after menopause.
We look at the signs, causes and possible methods of treatment for this condition, which seems to be becoming more and more prevalent.
Chelcey discusses if the use of sunscreen is a contributing factor, what perifollicular inflammation and scaling are, and what they look like, how to tell if the condition is active or in remission, and how to formulate and effective treatment plan.
Chelcey is also a guest speaker at the World Trichology Congress, and has created her own scale of measurement to determine the amount of perifollicular inflammation.
