Hello, since my thirties my skin has been acting strangely, some little postules appeared and I was with acne scars (I never had acne).

All the dermatologists said it was a reaction to face creams...

I always suspect medical opinions so I went to find another, and another, and another....all of them said I had sensitive skin, and rosette so I had to be careful with it, and treat it well...but the scars and postules didn't disappear.

So, I tried to Google for a good doctor, specialist in this kind of skin problems, I liked her more, and she was more attentive. On satyurday I went there again, after a first treatment not for FFA.

I sill don't have any hair loss, but my eyebrow did fall, and so after she saw it, there was a click!

Now I am on drugs...here in Portugal it's called Plaquinol (I read here in the forum some similar names). Of course after reading the alerts on paper, I went to my ophthalmologist and he explained me why is plaquinol dangerous for the eyes, but he also said this is one of the most antique drugs, well known with great results. The dangerousness of the drug is only when it creates addiction, with 3Kg of hidroxicloro...per day.

He saw my eyes and in 6 months I must go there to see the"mácula" and the evolution.

My skin doctor said this problem was in the first phase, probably my eyebrow wont grow back, but I hope my hair doesn't fall down :(

I was affraid of the medicine, but let's hope for the best!

Hi Tania

You must try and keep positive. It's hard to do but helps. If you want to talk in Portuguese, feel free to drop me a line in the private messages.
Olá Isabel! é daqui de Portugal? tem feito este tratamento?
Olá Tânia! Sou de Portugal, sim. Tomei plaquinol durante um ano mas agora não estou a fazer qualquer tratamento. Se for ao seu perfil deve ter um pedido de amizade meu. Se aceitar podemos falar em português entre nós!

Translating for the other ladies to understand:
Hi Tania! Yes, I'm Portuguese. I took plaquinol for a year but now am not following any treatment. If you go to your profile, you'll find a friend request from me. If you accept we can talk in portuguese
