There is a scientific term for the hair loss, but my brain retains nothing of importance so I cant remember it! It seems to happen to alot of people though, my son lost all of his eyebrows and a hell of a lot of head hair, thankfully all back to normal now though. If your still curious as to what that official name is, Nat on the Itsan forum knows it I think!
Keep on owning it!

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate knowing that the hairloss is temporary. To be fair, I've been losing my hair for a long time and I've never had any body hair, so part of me is actually looking forward to shaving it all off.
If you hadn't noticed, I'm a really positive guy, I love life and I love the people around me. This is a hurdle, and it sucks, but there is so much awesomeness around us every day that the good much outweighs the bad. I hope you can see that as well.
Johan, all the best with the recovery. I am an enormous fan of light therapy, it has helped me in the past. Even just getting in the sun is a good thing. I've always noticed when I go on holiday and get lots of sun, by body improves a heap. Of course, it also means no stress, which is a big problem in my line of work, but I maintain the sun is the key ingredient.
One other thing I highly recommend is cutting gluten out of your diet entirely. Sugar and Gluten are two things that open the body up tin inflammation, and since I've cut them, I haven't had any rashes at all.
Thanks for the comments guys, it has put a huge smile on my face!!
I was 28 years old and had been recommended topical Cortisone by dermatologists since I was 13, because of this my skin became persistently red across my face, arms and neck.
The solution is to cut the cortisone completely, but this process takes between 9 months to 4 years to recover from and came with many horrific side-effects.
The video above explains exactly what has caused the red skin, swelling and many other terrible symptoms that I've battled for the last 10 years. You can view all the posts on the blog by using the blog archive further down the page.
Hey Josh, So pleased you are doing so well!
