Common Questions and Answers about Bimatoprost for eyelash growth

lumigan

Avatar m tn Lumigan is a glaucoma medication that is put directly on the eye. Latisse is the same medication, different packaging for eyelash growth and it is painted on the eyelashes with a brush. I suppose the study that was completed 12/31/09 for growing eyelashes was only done on upper lid eyelashes. Then that's all that the FDA will allow them to say.
Avatar n tn I use Clinique skin care products, almost exclusively for almost 30 years, except for SkinMedica eye cream, but I was having issues before I started with that brand. I do use oil-based makeup remover because I wear waterproof mascara - but again, I've been using the same makeup remover for about 12 years........ and I only wear makeup 3-4 times a week (whose got time for that with kids and work and Scouts and sports and music and "me time"?!
Avatar f tn s been three weeks since I accidently yanked my upper lashes out with my eyelash curler and no trace of new growth. How long will it take for my lashes to grow back? Can I wear eyeliner to cover up the bald spot on my upper lid where there are no lashes?

12845664 tn?1427483649 I am using Lumigan (bimatoprost) 0.01% nightly. Cost under my Medicare coverage is pretty high (deductible plus copay). Bimatoprost 0.03% is now available as a generic. What potential problems am I inviting by asking my ophthalmologist to switch prescriptions and start using the 0.03%?
Avatar f tn Thank you for this information it is very help to know about drops available to help eyelash growth. We are in search of a pediatric ophthalmologist and will hopefully get a referral for a dermatologist after 10 more days of trying his ointment.
Avatar f tn Do you mean you have something on your eyelid? if on eyelash the eyelash is usually just pulled out. If on the eyelid I have no way of telling how big of a deal this is. You really need to ask your surgeon.
Avatar m tn My mother, age 53 and of Asian decent, had a lump in her upper left eyelid for around 6 months now. It started in October, a painless lump and then got removed in January when it grew in size. Then the doc realised that the flareup was due to another lump in the same area, a new growth! This new growth had been injected with steroids once in January, reduced in size before returning to the original pea size again.
507082 tn?1210735777 My eyelashes have fallen out also. I have been using eyelash growing gels. I don't want to mention the names of the 2 different companys because I don't know if this is why they are falling out. They were not "fly by night" companys. They both hve very good reputations, and the growth gels worked unbelievably for the first 6 to 8 months. Now my eyelids seem to have dandruff that I have to brush off every day. I don't pull my eyelashes nor do I use mascara often.
Avatar f tn The bottom lid however has one long black lash hanging on for dear life. Again thank you for the advise.

Avatar n tn the eye would become inflammed and blood-shot very easily, like rubbing the eye with my hand or an eyelash falling into the eye, etc. What could this growth be and is it causing the infections in this eye? Is it necessary to remove this bump? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!
Avatar m tn I also was prescribed spironolactone for the hirsitism to block the androgen receptors but I dont want to disturb K levels and get hyperkalemia. Should I worry about K levels or if a low dose is prescribed it wouldnt be a problem? Also I have alopecia in the eyelash region of my left eye and was told the treatment was steroid injections in the eyelid but that would cause cataracts..I am currently in my 3rd year of medical school and I was wondering why that would be a side effect.
