Is there a drug which breaks up scalp calcification?

[Jakejr]

I just want to throw this out to the forum.
I microneedle & I also inject w) needle into different parts of scalp/body.
The thing that bothers me is when I first started microneedling I could feel a cracking of something in my scalp as the needles penetrated the skin.
Later when I became proficient at using syringe needles I noticed I did not feel or hear that cracking anywhere else except the scalp.. Not in arm or face or body. So I started using magnesium oil. But was wondering if there is a prescription drug out there that breaks up calcification preferably in the scalp? I researched this once, but no leads.
To me, my scalp is half supple healthy skin mix in with crackling calcium. Everything looks normal, but I know it’s there & would like to get rid of it, so my scalp skin isn’t stiff & full of this stuff. Any ideas?

Have you ever touched a babies head? Jesus stop being brainwashed. Everybody got a tight scalp.

I'm still undecided on the role this plays on hairloss but I know for 100 certainty for years associating with physiotherapists and chiropractors that everyone has varying amounts of calcium deposits at different areas on body. So it's common sense to assume everyone's scalp also has different amounts. So I'm voting for it playing a considerable role (along with sebum)

I also use magnesium for dealing with this as it decalcifys, but recently also witch Hazel which to be honest has been great so far. Don't know if its reducing calcium, or DHT but it's proven to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, fight batetia and most importantly for me and the reason I started using it- it helps exfoliate and unclog pore (blocked follicles) and cleanes scalp. If you look at women's haircare forums they are all over it for scalp health.

Just make sure you get 100 percent pure witch hazel, it's dirt cheap.

Yes, Reno, I think we are on same page.
I am convinced there is an incorporation of calcium into the scalp skin. I can “hear” it. I am surprised others don’t notice it. I know dermatologists treat calcification in extreme cases.

 

[Thinning Sucks]

I read Vitamin K3 will help this.

 

[Jakejr]

You know there is a big difference in women hair & men. DHT main culprit, or so they say, but excess calcium may also.
If you notice women predominantly develop osteoporosis, or lack of calcium for bones. This could explain another factor. Best way to lessen calcium is magnesium. Prescription drugs have mixed results. So as an old cadaver study of men’s skulls noticed an “ivory dome”
Magnesium shampoos & balms will absorb calcium into scalp & body.

Calcific tendinitis (calcium deposits) is treated well with magnesium. It can happen almost anywhere and my belief has always been a similar thing can be happening on some peoples scalp.

A lot of areas tap water has a very high calcium content. It may seem counter productive to use dead sea salt as this contains trace minerals, but I personally think the sodium content is great at cleaning the scalp so I use this a lot.

I've also read about vitamin k3 helping, but are to many potential negative effects from taking this so never bothered with it.

Many on this forum will regard anything as BS if it's not the big 3 or anti DHT.

There is a website Mg12 which sells magnesium shampoo, soap, balm, deodorant, scrub etc. Magnesium will absorb through skin. It makes perfect sense. Calcium in conjunction with DHT slowly strangles the hair w) calcification slowly building up in scalp. So when a man decides to use Finasteride to block DHT his hair still doesn’t regrow because the calcium buildup, as well as sebum build up is ignored. What I am doing is covering scalp in magnesium balm then adding minoxidil powder to it & letting it sit. I happen to have minoxidil sulphate.
Then I can dropper some topical Duasteride on top or any other topical.
That way I have my bases covered.
You hear the stories every week in hairloss forums. I’m on Finasteride for 12 months & losing the battle. I try this, I try that but no luck… As I said before, I’ve tried the protocols in these forums, they barely work. So there must be something we are overlooking. The skin on your scalp is not like the skin on your fingertips. If I stick a needle in my fingertips it goes in easily & bleeds. If I stick a needle in my scalp there is a crackling sound, That cracking sound is calcium build up. And magnesium is best first step to reduce it. Vitamin K and it’s deratives may help too, but magnesium is the main one. So why not place magnesium balm on scalp & minoxidil on top, or whatever your pleasure.

I've been using magnesium flakes in water for about a year. It's dirt cheap and easily absorbed. Gives great volume as well.

However as much as I believe the calcification theory to some extent, sebum build up is also a huge issue imo so my aim recently has been to exfoliate my entire scalp and clear pores (recent thread on this a few weeks ago) so not over using the magnesium as I'm kinda trying to dry my scalp out at same time and get all the crap out, including calcium. Its a very long process but I seem to be doing very well so far. It's a complicated problem, but far greater than lowering DHT otherwise we would all just jump on the big and move on.

I'm currently using magnesium sulphate and chrolide, dead sea salt and pure witch hazel. Along with individually declogging blocked pores (hence why its so long winded!)

Scalp is more calcified after hair is gone. It does not CAUSE balding though. It is just an after-effect. Stop kidding yourselves - magnesium and all this other stuff is not going to reverse the cause of hair loss. Sebum is another SIGN of hair loss and is CORRELATED with it, but does not CAUSE it. Stop bullshitting, wtf.

 

[Jakejr]

Nobody has a program to regain or regrow hair for males in particular. So all the experts I guess are BS too. It is clear the standard protocols DO NOT WORK. that is why we must think outside the Failing box for an answer. My hair is growing back, but not because I listen to the experts or the naysayers. I experiment over & over.. Calcification is a real thing. Excess sebum & plugged pores are too. Ever seen a balding man. Don Rickles the comedian.. he was constantly sweating, producing sebum. Ever see a woman sweat like that?
So I believe we have to think outside the box. The cleaner the scalp the better. I concentrate a lot with glycolic, salicyclic acids, steaming, etc. It has helped.
Trying to reduce calcification is a good thing.
Read the hairloss forums.. Panic!, hair systems, Am I balding?
I applaud new approaches for the old clearly don’t work

Good luck lmao

Even i I agreed with you on these being after effects, which I don't (although they are accelerated with hairloss), I would STILL attempt to tackle calficifaction and excess sebum in order to help reverse hairloss.

How do you regrow a forest without putting out the fire?

Your actually arguing in favour of this so thanks for that .

 

[Mr. Slap Head]

like I said, we’ll see who grows more hair. The baldcels on magnesium or bica chad

 

[Jakejr]

It is not one or another. Magnesium vs Bica. It is checking a box that many ignore. One can clean the scalp, microneedle, use minoxidil, use Bica or whatever & use magnesium at same time.

I take magnesium for other reasons, I have been for many years, and I can tell you it does nothing for hair. If you want to fight your genes you better come up with some heavy artillery.

Scalp calcification is the process through
which your scalp absorbs more calcium
than it should. The calcium blocks blood
vessels, which in turn become stiff. As you can imagine, this greatly reduces blood flow throughout the scalp.
If you look at bald men with big foreheads, like Mark Levin; there is a bulge or profusion starting about 2 inches above the eyebrows, extending the width of the exposed forehead.
