Joker29 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Let me preface this by stating that I am 20 and have noticed ridges on my scalp since about 15 or 14. Every year they have gotten more prominent little by little (at least i think) and within the last year or so i have noticed bald patches on the ridges (only on one side though, interestingly). I was wondering if any members on this board with CVG has experienced the same hair loss patterns and if they have taken any measures to correct the CVG and related hair loss somehow. My case is mild compared to some pictures I've seen but this is causing me a lot of stress regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted July 31, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have CVG and hair loss happens faster I think in areas that were going to lose anyway. It is stressful to have.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2019 If you have CVG and are going to have a hair transplant, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to try having one or two scalp reductions first to eliminate the ridges before transplanting over the area. It's one of the few times I think scalp reductions may still make sense to do. I don't how successful that would be in eliminating the ridges as I've never had CVG, but I imagine it would work.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is you CVG only in the donor area or over entire scalp? Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker29 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 It is concentrated on the crown area of my scalp although it extends the entire width of my scalp. The front of my scalp seems smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
