    Minoxidil question

    Just received my minoxidil treatment in the mail, I didn't do my full research before ordering the rogaine foam. My main issue for my mpb is a receding hairline and the rogaine says it doesnt treat this (only the back of the head). Should I not use the product? My hairline is receding pretty bad, im 22 and want to fix this. I want to start the treatment asap, does rogaine not help thicken hair on the front of the head? Will using rogaine make my receding hairline worse? Please help. thanks!

    The studies were not done on the front, so they are not allowed to say anything about the front.

    A lot of users have reported use in the front is beneficial. I suggest using it in the front, I plan on using mine in the front also.

    You can use it anywhere you are losing hair.

    Good luck

      Sweet, thanks. I just wanted to make sure that I wasnt going to lose more hair then I already was. Any other stories or feedback on this issue? If this is the case, that you can use it anywhere, I will post progress to keep everybody informed.

        Cool, yeah. Take a bunch of photos on day 1. Make sure to take more than 1 photo.

        Then keep track of progress.


        Note that you might have some initial shedding. It obviously varies from person to person.

          lol my shedding is already pretty crazy, but im still willing to give it a shot. I hear the the initial shedding phase is about 1.5 months or so. I just hope that the hair i shed will grow back. receding hair lines suck. Thanks again for the help budd

                So is your mpb mainly receding hairline or is it more of a bald sot on the top of your head? If it was a receding hairline, is the treatment growing some hair back in that area?

                        Yeah...

                        that sucks. I was hoping to regrow some of my hair. I am kinda norwood 3 ish with my vertex starting to go..but still have hair just starting to really thin there.

                        I really hope I can get some back...


                        Really SUCKS to hear that you were on finasteride and THEN the balding of your temples started. wtf...that sucks. I hope it helps me...


                        But it does seem you shed a lot more than the average person.

                            Yeah but in some cases minox and finas obviously help the front too.

                            Atleast help you maintain ...
