Thanks for all who posted. I am in the process of researching this very issue to provide a more detailed precise evaluation. I would appreciate if those with the problems of CVG email me your photos privately to hairdocMD@aol.com and any other additional information that you have not shared on this site.
Thank you

I have this condition too, with about 5 furrows/grooves on the crown of my head that REALLY psychologically bother me. I have been "dealing with it" for years, but I'm at the stage where I need to do something about it because of my hair thinning. I don't have the time to keep being self-conscious about it! If anyone has any success stories about how they removed their furrows, we would love to hear it.

Thank You!

I just created a post on this. I have had CVG for many years. I believe it is attributed to some hormonal imbalance. Many of the people I have met with it have used Anabloc Steroids in the past including myself. I do not believe anabolic steroid are a direct effect on CVG but again some type of hormonal imbalance. I am currently thinning on top and I have consulted with a HT doc on this site and was not taken very seriously. I would like feedback from a HT Doc on their thoughts and possibly a plan off attack. Currently our only options for CVG at the moment are scalp reduction. Please read my post below

I was also diagnosed by CVG.

Guys I want to know one thing - What are the future complications of CVG except Hair Loss? Any brain related complications? How to stop their growth?

No way to stop it but I have not had any change since I was 18 or so. I feel that if you do not have a MPB gene you will not lose the hair, and if you do, you might lose it just a little sooner. If you are suffering from hairloss it may be worth it to follow mpbsucks(I think there are a few numbers after that part) thread. He recently went thru and FUE proceedure and has CVG, so I am very interested to see his results.

Ive got mild CVG which does not bother me in the slightest but everyone is different. (Pictures in my HT thread). I first became properly aware of it about five years ago when I started having my hair shorter. It has not get any worse.

Thanks for your help. I was worried if it will grow towards forehead..

Need some more info on this disease. I got this disease when I was 20 years old.. But was correctly diagnosed few days ago. Many doctors were not aware of this 2 years back..

My question is Cutis Gyrata Syndrome of Beare-Stevenson is the same as ours??

Will we see some mental abnormalities in us soon? as written on some sites?

For those of you interested, I suggest reading "Does Cutis Verticus Gyrata (CVG) Lead to Hair Loss and is it Treatable?" provided by expert hair restoration physician and Coalition member Dr. Cam Simmons.

Best wishes,

Bill
