Hairy hands/legs after cast removal

So he had an accident, broke his skull, and abraded (scraped) his thinning scalp. and now this scalp is healing and hair is much stronger.
I assume the abrasion must have been quite severe in that accident!!

Well, if this is true, then there must be more cases like this out there. Abrading the scalp in an accident is very common.

I believe it got to do with the bone trauma as well. bone trauma + abrasion in his case probably

yeah, its possible. Something to do with the bone marrow?

no idea. all i know is that i had this head crushing experience as well, i didnt break any bone, just stressed it a bit and hair stopped falling.

neosh101 is based around a bone growth factor science as well.

One plausible explanation is that the head crushing is causing increased circulation to the scalp (same as the accident/surgery). Putting your head between your knees will clearly cause a rush of blood to the head, but you don’t need to crush.

The other thing is you’re playing with fire, first unless you have very clean arteries and/or very experienced at this you could cause yourself some damage (aka stroke). I read this one time when researching head stands which I used to do years ago. Apparently this guy had done yoga headstands for years, and all the other stuff, trim in shape guy. Then he got a stroke from the headstands. The issue is the older we get the more we clog the piping, forcing water into a jammed weak hose, and it will spring a leak (stroke).

Just fair warning that although inversion is good it also is not without risks. BTW, the crushing part is the worst because that even causes more pressure to build up in the hose (your piping).

I agree, that whenever we stress our machinery in weird ways, we risk breaking it. In 99.9…% of the cases, the damage doesn’t exist, or it is just transient. But if you do it repeatedly, you never know…

Not trying to dig up old threads, but one of the reasons this could be happening is either growth factors or Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, they are believed to have a role in hair growth as well. I’m not 100% sure on this, but it could be an explanation.

I believe that jarjarbinx’s Histogen mixture may have some of these bad boys too.

From Follica patent:
The invention is also based, in part, on the principle that human skin is replenished by bone-marrow derived and tissue-derived stem cells throughout life. In some embodiments, the lithium treatment(s) is used in combination with methods that mobilize tissue stem cells (e.g., using integumental perturbation); and/or methods that mobilize bone marrow-derived stem cells (e.g., growth factors such as G-CSF and/or chemical agents such as plerixafor (Mozobil®)); and/or methods that regulate the differentiation of these stem cells into gender-specific specialized human hair follicles

Shivers, thanks for the info, but do you spend all your time trying to revive 4 year old threads, buddy?

Lol, I like to contribute any additional info I come across to the existing threads, past or present. Trying to keep the forum, nice and organized, not filled with silly comments. It will help with research. If I could avoid the thread from being placed on the front page I would.

I guess its better than constantly bumping PGD2 threads with silly posts, dont you think? This forum is very unorganized, one million threads about the same stuff over and over again. Why cant we join all of the pgd2 threads together so its easier for people to search & read. Roger, you started a great thread about Nasalcrom as a pgd2 inhbitor, all nasalcrom related comments should be placed in that thread. We dont need ten other new threads about nasalcrom. Thats my rant :smiley:

The appeal of the HairSite forums for some of us is precisely that. It’s somewhat more loosely organized than many of the other popular hair loss sites, which have topics rigidly organized into a lot of “silos”, and that categorization of posters into different classes – e.g., newbie, novice, experienced poster, expert, etc. – as far as I’m concerned forums like that are very elitist and over-organized.

The downside of the looseness here at HairSite is that people can easily take advantage of it, by disrupting the forums, trolling and posting nonsense, and getting into fights and flame wars. That’s much harder to do on the more highly-regulated forums.

I think another great aspect of HairSite is that the great majority of the current discussions are always about CURRENT topics – i.e., the latest trend or advance which is on people’s minds right NOW, and which relate to RECENT developments.

I’m not one for rewatching old movies or TV reruns, and for the same reason, I don’t like to regurgitate, revisit, and re-read forum postings that I’ve seen a long time ago, or that I know come from years ago. The discussions have died down and died out, and as I said – as far as I’m concerned – it’s happened for a reason. Those subjects are generally tapped out because they’ve reached a dead end, people can’t find anything new to add.

If you have something new to post about a very old subject, I think the best way to do it is just start a new thread, summarize what you know (or what we know) very briefly, and add your new news.

Reviving a very old topic may be easy to do on this forum, because it’s not as rigidly organized as some of the other forums, but it also can disrupt the forum, when people are talking about very current topics, and all of a sudden this monster thread of 186 comments arises from 2009, like a swamp creature arising from a bog. No offense to you at all, you’ve posted some good information, but to me, reviving old posts from several years back is very distracting.
