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

Hi Rita. It's great to hear that you are happy with the hairpiece you bought. It does make a lot of difference doesn't it :o)
C I am currently seeing Dr Wong at Hommerton hospital in north London. She attends the CARF meetings and I heard about her from Debs. My Gp referred me to Dr Wong and Dr Wong is happy to see me once or twice a year.

I still am taking absolutely nothing for the hair loss, except for the scalp injections which I still swear by. I have more 'female pattern baldness' now, i.e. thinning on the top, but truly have not lost more than a few hairs from receding hairline recently. It had receded about 3/4 inch before I got the diagnosis and started the injections, a little over a year ago. Since then it has receded an additional 1/2 inch or so at the temples, in the first few months. It has progressed less than that frontally, I rarely have any redness, and almost no itching at all anymore. I hope that gives hope to some of our new ladies.
oh I forgot to mention I have an appt to have my eyebrows tattooed. Yikes am concerned as it is so permanent at least until touch up needed.
I stopped all meds & even the Clobetasol for scalp. However, I am prepared to start the Doxycycline 100mg again if I see intense shedding. It is a terrible condition but thanks to Liz & her sharing of the piece she uses, I knew what to look for & have purchased & often wear the hairpiece. It gives me confidence & I have no worries in the wind.
Norfolk Girl - you will look and feel great once the eyebrows are done - they make such a difference. Liz, I wonder which derm you are currently seeing. I have seen no-one this year, am not taking any meds, just using dermovate and nothing has changed radically except I obsess on it less prob because I am not taking tabs every morning. I wonder ?
Hi all. CJ I have seen Dr Farrant, Dr Harries, Dr Christos and recently Dr Sharon Wong at Hommerton hospital.
In my experience all the derms I have seen know their stuff and the medications etc that they offer are all similar.
My personal opinion is find a derm who you like, one who you feel comfortable with and one who you feel at ease with. One who gives YOU what you need.
I prefer one who is warm and empathetic. I know others of you prefer someone who is efficient rather than warm. The one that works for you is the best one.
