Hello All, I am venturing into new territory. It just dawned on me that a good experiment would be to try a medical grade CBD oil tincture on my hairline and see if it affects the redness. CBD is the nonpsychoactive part of marijuana that is being…Continue

Yes Catherine - by train from London is easy. I will send you directions. Can you make any of the dates I suggested ? If people let me know which dates are possible then hopefully we will find one date that suits most. I will invite you as a friend on this site to give you info. Thanks, C

Hello ladies in the South East - I am trying to organise a get together as it's a while since we had one - I am suggesting the 15th,16th or 17th October if anyone is interested - close to Junction 2 M40 - please let me know if you can make any of these dates and I hope to see you !
Hi Debs, Anne and everyone, I will try to get a transcript of the full article on the injections (as opposed to just the abstract). I am not subscribed to the medical journal that published the article, but I will see if my GP can download it for us.
More soon...

MJ, I've been using Eilidel cream on my brows for over a year and they have mostly grown back. I started using Rogaine on my scalp about 6 mos ago and my hair has never been thicker. I am seeing some new growth at the front hairline, so apparently not all of the follicles are scarred over. It seems to me that using Elidel cream on your scalp would be very messy. I quit using it on my brows in the morning because it made it hard to fill in the sparse areas with makeup. Rogaine might work without the Elidel. It has for me.
Catherine already provided the information on the study in direct quotations. In hyperlink, it is as follows: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24738979
Please do not be dissuaded from trying the injections! I can't imagine what horror stories some may have heard, but I am speaking from 15 months actual experience! Knowing how thin the skin on your forehead is in the first place, I can't imagine how deep anyone believes the 'dents' may be, but I assure you it's just not that visible to others. And it is completely reversed with the use of Retin-A type ointments. It is the least invasive medical therapy offered -- no chemical effect, no risk of reactions with any other drugs in your system. It is entirely superficial -- and it works.
