Can Actos Treatment Be Taken For Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia During Pregnancy?

I have had frontal fibrosing alopecia for 4yrs now, but was aware of the condition only this past year. I am 35 and this started right after my c section in 2007. I have been on plaqanil for 6 months and just stopped them as was thinking for a 2nd child. I am worried though as i am sure im going to loose more hair by stopping thepills but I sw no change while i was taking them. I recently saw a top dermatologist and mentioned a new treatment with actos. Do you think i should take the treatment and forget pregnancey or would being pregnant manage to halt till I have baby then start treatment after.
