Medical Forum / General / General / December 2005Follicles of scalp
Hi, I would like to have a scalp that looks like Yule Brinner's--you know a totally hairless scalp. I suppose I could go to my dermatologist who offers laser treatments, or to an electrologist. But I would rather save the thousands of dollars, if possible, and treat myself. It can't be difficult to rid your scalp of its hair follicles, can it? In my case, most of my follicles are on the side of my scalp--I have very few follicles left on top; just the sides. This sounds like a simple question, but would sandpaper work to eliminate the follicles? If not, what might? This would be much cheaper and faster than seeing my dermatologist's laser technician or an electrologist. Thanks very much for any help. Try visiting your local military aresenal and see if they'll loan you a flamethrower for a few hours. If that doesn't work, the old can of gas and matches trick should get the job done. Make sure you're not too far from a hospital, though. > Hi, I would like to have a scalp that looks like > Yule Brinner's--you know a totally hairless scalp.

There must be a homemade and easier way to permanently (or even temporarily) eliminate your scalp's follicles? Thanks Wouldn't a sanding belt work better than tediously using a peice of sandpaper? Or you could just take the easy way out and grow more face and body hair which will rob the sides of your head of nutrients and they'll fall out that way. > Try visiting your local military aresenal and see if they'll loan you a > flamethrower for a few hours.

What about very small amounts of hydrochloric acid (you know, this is the pure non-contaminated form of the muriatic acid you'll find at a hardware store). I would never use the tainted muriatic acid (who knows what contaminants it may contain), but small amounts of hydrochloric acid applied a little at a time, say one-quarter square inch at a time might work??? I'll probably go to my dermatologist's laser tech, but I'd sure prefer a homemade remedy. Would the hydrochloric work? Try Roy's. "ElevenPercent" LMAO...You are going to use hydrchloric acid and you're worried about contaminants?? Why not just use sulfuric acid and it will dehydrate the skin to the extent the follicle will die from a lack of moisture.Or just try a duct tape wrap till the follicles just shrivell up? <elevenpercent@not-real-address.com> wrote: > What about very small amounts of hydrochloric acid (you > know, this is the pure non-contaminated form of the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I'd sure prefer a homemade remedy.

If the laser doesn't work (assuming they'd even do it), you should just get used to the idea of shaving. > What about very small amounts of hydrochloric acid (you > know, this is the pure non-contaminated form of the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I'd sure prefer a homemade remedy.

Then do it the way Yul Brynner did -- shave your head. -- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

How would that work? I mean how would one apply the duct tape and why would the follicles shrivel up? search this newsgroup for a recipe called "the oZ brew" it will remove all hair follicles after a few uses > search this newsgroup for a recipe called "the oZ brew" > > it will remove all hair follicles after a few uses I tried a weak version of the Oz brew and I didn't lose any hair follicles. Don't seem to remember anyone else that used the full-strength recipe claiming they lost all their hair follicles either. Got any links? Rocky Hmm, what about excisement or debridement of the scalp's layer of skin containing the follicles? Plastic surgeons regularly debride folks of their lumps of excess fat around the waist. Has anyone ever heard of scalp tissue being excised or debrided? Thanks. >It can't be difficult to rid your scalp of its >hair follicles, can it? Yes it is. Lasers/flashlamps or electrolysis are pretty much it to get rid of unwanted follicles. And even they take repeated applications. >This sounds like a simple question, but would >sandpaper work to eliminate the follicles? No. The follicles go extremely deeply into the scalp. Even Electrolysis and light treatments only consistently cause permanant follicular oblation during early anagen. Which is why treatment has to be done on a repeated schedule. Roughtly, first zap the follicles to get them synchronized, then repeat several weeks later as they start to regrow. >If not, what might? The simplest solution is to just shave your scalp. Peter H.
