Please can you let me know where you purchased the Regaine Terry?  I haven't tried this yet but my existing hair is significantly thinner than it used to be so it's worth a shot.

Many thanks

That is a great question, Jules! It would be very interesting to know if baldness is increasing in men! I have long wondered about cosmetics, creams, lotions, sunscreens (definitely something that generations before us have not used on their faces and bodies like we do, since they didn't really know that much about sun damage), and pesticides too! All things that are part of our environment these days. I agree, organic is definitely the way to go whenever possible.

Debs, where did you order your roller from? There's such a range of prices. Talking to my husband about your post, he wondered whether the incidence of baldness in men had increased as FFA seems to have in women? Is it something in the general environment such as pesticides? Or something in cosmetics to affect women? If only we could get to the core of the problem! Anyway, I'm firmly organic in as much as possible, food and face creams etc. riverford organic veg boxes are excellent, and Neal's Yard remedies an indulgent treat that I can now justify. X

Wow! Thank you Debs so much for sharing all of that information! So helpful and it is nice to know that there is research going on and that maybe there is some hope. I would definitely like to be a part of the research. I will email Dr. Tziotzios! Thank you again and please keep us posted on the microneedle rollers.

Thanks Debs. You are right. I guess I was just having a freak out moment and needed to hear the voice of reason lol I am also a little daunted at the thought of finding a GOOD doc as I haven't had the best luck with doctors in my lifetime. I will check out CARF.

I have been holding off on trying Rogaine and I presume all that are using it are doing so with the 5 percent foam. My derm suggested I try it. Has anyone in the U.S found it online at a more reasonable price & if so, could you share the website, please & thanks.

I agree with you Jean, I thought of your post about your Chinese medical practitioner yesterday when the derms talked about the microneedle rollers.  I have just ordered one online for £25.  Am going to also buy some regaine now and use together.

....there you go - I knew there was something in my Chinese head whacking!!!  Lets hope that the supplements he's given me for my gut are also productive.  Watch this space (although he said that it would be a long job).

MICRONEEDLE ROLLERS - only heard about them yesterday at CARF meeting.  have looked online and increase effectivness of minoxidil (regaine/rogaine) by 5 times efficiacy and if used on its own has proven to stimulate collegen production and hair growth.  Suitable to use on own or with any topical applications.  Very cheap online to purchase.

Betty I suggest you contact CARF they are based in the USA and can direct you to a derm with a special interest in FFA.  Yes, you should do something preventative now before the inflammation continues - the sooner the better.  When the condition burns out the doctors don't know if it is the meds or if it would have stopped anyway, however since scarring alopcia is permenant hair loss I think most of us want to try and take some action whether that is diet, drugs, supplements etc..  Please do contact the doctor I have put in my post doing research, I don't see why he would only want DNA from people in the UK.
