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 Ellen. I'll have to find out about having my fillings replaced. I have 3 which have been in my mouth for about 30 years!
I am allergic to nickel. I have also had bouts of eczema which flare up from time to time and is made worse if I jewelry x.
Liz, I also had silver fillings, but they were replaced gradually between ten and fifteen years ago.
Jules - I do totally sympathise with you. My holiday in Cornwall was badly affected this year by my increasing sensitivity over my hair loss. I was very self conscious in the sea about my balding sides, and windy walks were a nightmare. I wore a hat a lot, and twice it blew into the sea! Also my eyes seemed more sensitive to the salt water and got red and itchy, and my scalp seemed on fire at times, itching. It seems to have settled down more now that I am back.
I do have tooth fillings, not sure what is in them though!
Liz:I have many, loved/still do, my sweets. I've heard that some people actually do have them removed & refilled w/other kinder material. I wonder if any of the Derms/research has looked at that aspect.
Hi all. Jules I've been looking at the handybands from Seasalt. Do let me know how you get on with it.
Who on this site has amalgam/silver coloured fillings? I was reading something about the mercury in them causing hairloss and maybe causing lichen planus. Both my mum and I have several of these type of fillings.

Sigga-Excellent advice, wish I had done that but Derms should have come up w/this: taking a photo of one's frontal hair areas before a treatment(which are usually 3-6mths) & one afterwards.
