Trying a new approach with CBD oil...

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 found to do wonders for many types of inflammation. It is legal in California and not every where. I thought, why not try it....that clobetasol steroid tincture does not seem to do anything. So, wondering if anyone else has tried it. I have other friends who have received so much help with it for other conditions. Very interested if anyone else has tried it!  Thanks

    My spouse began using CBD oil on the advice of my mum. He'd have HUNDREDS of ulcers in his mouth and esophagus. Doctors put him on a costly drug (still in testing) that reduced the number of ulcers he would acquire by 75%. However, that is frequently 10-20 at a time. It was difficult for him to speak, eat, or even smile. I'm not sure how my mother came up with the idea, but he said, "the meds I've been on for years don't work, so I might as well try delta 8 carts." He started around Christmas last year and was essentially done within a month. He now gets 1-2 ulcers every few months.

      It's cool to see people exploring new approaches to healthcare and experimenting with natural remedies like CBD. And with medical-grade CBD oil tinctures becoming more widely available, it's worth considering as an option.

        I just came across your post about using CBD oil on your hairline and I think that's a really interesting idea! While I haven't personally tried it myself, I have heard a lot of great things about CBD's anti-inflammatory properties, so I wouldn't be surprised if it helped with redness. I just wanted to mention that this thread is a bit old, so I'm curious to know how the CBD oil worked for you, if you ended up trying it. Did you see any improvements in the redness on your hairline?
        If you're still interested in learning more about CBD, I came across this article on
