Hello to all,
I've been in remission for a while (3 years) but unfortunately the malar rash is back after an unsuccessful pregnancy. Besides the rash I have discovered a new bald spot on my scalp with a visible discoid lesion that does not look too inflamed. After a visit to my doc., I'm back on plaquenil (started this week) and in general feel rather lousy, physically exhausted and a bit shocked about the lupus coming back. I know remission is temporary, but it felt so good! I'm just not used to feeling so tired.
Anyway, my quetion is about hair dye. My hair needs colouring again and was wondering whether is was not such a good idea to do it during a flair with alopecia. Could this affect the alopecia further? Anybody had experice with this? Any advise?
Thanks,
Cris
