Sorry if I haven't been able to read every post or research article on GA, so I may be asking an already answered and obvious question.
Just seems to me that most every post and thread I've read has been written by a woman. I contracted GA a couple of years ago. Have been menopausal for about 4 years now. I know it affects younger women too, but don't recall seeing any articles or posts from, or involving, the male gender.
Is it just a female hormonal issue? Grrrrrr.
And thank you.
It is much more prevalent in woman but men do have it too.
Thank you Tina.
You're welcome. Not sure if you are on Facebook, but I have joined several GA groups and there's a lot of others on there too.
Oh! I didn't know that. I'll search for them. Thanks again!
Hi Deb,
My brother had it, a quarter-sized spot on his left ankle. Oddly, I had the same on the right ankle! He also has thyroid disease. Unfortunately, I've had recurrences, but I think he hasn't since his original spot cleared up.
Genes are really strong...
Thanks for mentioning! I just started looking today at online support, so will check out the FB group as well.
Hmm... thanks very much.
