Princess Caroline's Alopecia
I read in an Italian magazine called "Alta Società" (High Society) that Princess Caroline would be suffering from psoriasis. Does anyone know anything more about that?
Ciao, Tosca

Hi Tosca;
Psoriasis presents itself as red, thickened areas with silvery scales. Most often it appears on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Some cases of it are so mild that people don't know they even have it while others can scratch their skin raw, to the point of bleeding. Severe psoriasis may cover large areas of the body. If she had this, wouldn't we have noticed it at the recent royal weddings? The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown. There is no 'cure' for psoriasis, but there are some drugs, shampoos, and body washes that offer some relief. I'm sure Caroline, if she has it in any form, will have access to the best methods of controlling it. I have not heard about her suffering with this until you mentioned it.

I hadn't heard about it neither. I also think we would have seen it, but who knows...

Years ago Caroline did suffer from a skin problem in which she lost her hair. I don't remember what the name of the condition is but during that time she wore lots of head scarves.

It is alopecia (hair loss) and her aunt said it was brought on from stress. Psoriasis is another skin condition--more common than people think. Perhaps she is particularly subsceptible to skin problems......

I remember reading a while back that she does have very sensitive skin and she uses a very high dollar cream (DUH!).

I actually know people with both problems. If she has either of these...and they are related to her hair loss...it would be alopecia. Psoriasis doesn't cause anything like that. Most likely she doesn't have Psoriasis because of the revealing outfits she often wears to galas. Most often it shows up on the scalp, and on the elbows and knees and the like. So chances are we would have seen something.
Alopecia makes more sense...it can definitly cause your hair to fall out (including your eyebrows if it is bad enough) and flairs up becuase of stress.

Caroline's mom had very delicate skin which she shielded from the sun most of the time. She was quoted as saying she liked rainy days best as they were good for the skin. She did consult an aesthetician (sp?) who advised her on skin care and--yes--used expensive products. Like Jacqueline Kennedy she was a big fan of Erno Lazlo who had wonderful products. I believe someone has his formulas and re-launched his product line not all that long ago......but pricey I'm sure.

Caroline's Alopecia
I saw pictures of Caroline bald and read that she had alopecia, which is when your hair falls out. For a lot of women it is permanent.
Does anyone know more about her condition? Did she go out bald or did she wear a wig? Did she receive treatment? I ask because hair is a big interest of mine and I'm curious to know how she managed to grow her hair back (unless she's wearing a wig now). Thanks.

I know a bit..... Caroline used to wear either a turban or a scarf. Then she preferred to go bald for a time. Not sure how long it lasted - a year? It started around 1996. Her hair eventually grew back.

Yes,it was in 1996 and rumors say that she was very stressed because her relationship with Prince Ernst was at the beginning while he was still married to Chantal Hochuli,so this stress caused her this problem.She never wore a wig she was using turban.But then her her grew back.

I read that once is started falling out from stress that she shaved it... it wasn't that she became naturally bald...

Thank you for the replies. Even with the bald head, she managed to remain confident. I know I would have had low self esteem about it because hair is so important to women.

As regards the stress, out of her relation with Ernst, do not forget that Caroline in 1990 faced the absolute tragedy, by loosing Stefano. And for years she was also raising alone her 3 children, not easy.... Consequently, such awful events can provoke, even years after, very strong reactions...

Very interesting to see the development of her hair in pictures, tbhrc.
In the last one, she reminds me of Nefertiti, the Egyptian Queen. The picture is one of the very bests! Look at her features, her skin...

:) Doctors say they are not sure what exactly causes Alopecia
although many say it could be due to stress. There are 3 types of Alopecia: areata, totalis, or universalis. Alopecia is not prejudice nor does it occurr in a particular age group. It can affect men, women, and children. I have known children to be affected at the age of 3 years. Also, any race has the possiblity to getting it. Sometimes your hair will grow back or sometimes not. Sometimes it may grow back with your natural hair color or it may grow back white. It can afect a person's self-esteem. Family support is very important. At least it is not life threatening!:)
