Had no body hair at all and grew it all back.

The patient was suffering from a rare, highly visible disease known as alopecia universalis, which has no cure or approved long term treatment.

Doesn't work on people with thinning hairlines. No big deal

So it fixes this alopecia thing, but if it helped the average bald man grow hair back we probably would have heard of it by now.

I have psoriasis and the doctor said this drug is a last ditch resort. It really fricks your immune system so you'll contract more illnesses and possibly even fail to fight cancer. It also increases cholesterol.

Is take it in this guys situation but it's not worth it if somebody just wants more hair.

They JUST reported their findings a day or two ago. I don't think anyone has said it would help everyone's hair grow back. But I would be willing to bet that this will lead to something in that area.

I also find it interesting that the hair just started growing after nothing else worked. Does that mean that bald men/women's hair has the potential to grow back?

I didn't know this has been around a while. Sounds like it may not be that big of a deal after all.

But at least you go out with a glorious mane that rivals Samson.

Alopecia doesn't kill the follicles, so regrowth is always possible - and happens all the time. There's no telling how long it will last for this guy.

This drug has been on the market for 2 years, will not work on typical mail pattern baldness and will not make you hairier than you already are. Sorry, guys.

They're having trouble controlling the overgrowth of body pubes
