Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Me too Jack, the only hair that is growing more is not where I want it to grow. I am not baled however at 83. I am growing more pubic, under arm and even on my tits where I never ever had any hair, Ha! My stomach also has hair and I never did have it there either. I have Indian blood in me so that is partly the reason for lack of hair on my body. Have to shave more often too, darn!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yes I have heard of this happening and going on TRT will help with dry skin and bad hair.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 OH MY! We are talking using peroxide on the head again!! I REALLY wish folks would stop recommending putting peroxide on the head. This just really gives me bad vibes!! I have written long postings here in the past regarding this but don't have the time now. I was a hairstylist and the last thing one wants to do is use peroxide on the scalp or hair, UNLESS, you are coloring your hair and there is a proper way to do this! If one wants to rot their hair and be bald, peroxide will do the trick! Rogaine is the only drug which will help re-grow hair and it can be bought over the counter. I don't recommend it as it can raise blood pressure. There are hair growing kits one can purchase at Sally's but they don't really work...BUT, they do aid in removing the crust fungi can cause on the scalp which can cause hair loss. Also, low levels of many different vitamins can halt hair growth. One needs plenty of proteins and b-vitamins for healthy locks. There is a amino acid formula called Formula 50 which dermatologist often recommend for thinning hair. If your dermatologist stated it was a fungal infection, I am surprised he did not prescribe a shampoo for this. The prescription shampoos are not costly at all and have been around for a long time and are safe to use for a limited period. If it is fungal, some are contagious. As a barber and a cosmetologist, I refused to work on clients with a fungus, I did not want to spread the infection to other clients. Head and shoulders is good for some kinds of fungus and many dermatologist recommend it even for certain skin fungus. Before I get a lecture about how Head and Shoulder is bad for those with chemicals sensitives and all the stuff it has in it, I know all about it, but I would use it any day over keeping the fungus with is the worse of the evils. What ever you do, don't use peroxide on your head unless you are coloring your hair and even then, follow the directions. Using peroxide is the worse advice I continue to hear on the internet in treatment for head fungus. If nothing else, shampoo the hair daily and use a shampoo brush to keep the fungal flakes out. Getting the flakes off of the scalp is the first thing to do in re-growing hair back. Hair can't grow through the flakes and will fall out. --- xhannahx24 <xhannahx24@...> wrote: > hello all - > diagnosis from a recent dermatologist visit is > " alopecia aerata " for > my hair loss on scalp and part of an eyebrow. for my > fingernails & big > toenails (which i'm not too concerned with, > especially since they've > made significant improvement), he mentioned > antifungals, but warned me > of possible damage to liver OR a lacquer/nail polish > called Penlac, > which he stressed to me was very expensive. > > those of u who experienced hair loss and has since > grown back, please > share what you tried. someone i ran into last week > mentioned > massaging a mixture of coconut oil & 1 egg onto > scalp and leaving-in > for at least 1.5 hours before rinsing. someone who > actually stated on > a website that fungal infections are a cause of > alopecia aerata > suggests borax + hydrogen peroxide. i'm waiting to > hear back the > *exact* recipe. > > please chime in with your remedies! :-) > > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 oops, i neglected to write what the dermatologist said about my alopecia in my original post, didn't i? he basically wants to see all my recent bloodwork before establishing a protocol...but when i pressed him for some kind of hint, he did mention cortisone injections on my scalp (which is something i really don't care to do). as soon as i hear back from the person i emailed (borax & hydrogen peroxide), i'll post it here. i just came back home from buying some coconut oil. i'm up for trying the coconut oil + 1 egg concoction. what have i got to lose? :-) > > OH MY!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The cortisone shots do work well. I have seen folks who had them with hair loss and they do grow back a healthy head of hair with those shots. --- xhannahx24 <xhannahx24@...> wrote: > oops, i neglected to write what the dermatologist > said about my > alopecia in my original post, didn't i? he > basically wants to see all > my recent bloodwork before establishing a > protocol...but when i > pressed him for some kind of hint, he did mention > cortisone injections > on my scalp (which is something i really don't care > to do). > > as soon as i hear back from the person i emailed > (borax & hydrogen > peroxide), i'll post it here. > > i just came back home from buying some coconut oil. > i'm up for trying > the coconut oil + 1 egg concoction. what have i got > to lose? :-) > > > > > > > > OH MY!
