i lost 50% of my hair because of rogaine foam

[ejder]

i used rogaine foam for 2 months and i lost half of my hair. All the hair fall out is thick.there is no thinning but i am still losing my hair.do you think rogaine killed my hair? what should i do?

[fred970]

It's the normal shedding phase every (successful) minoxidil user is going through. Stick to it.

[Notcoolanymore]

Damn 50% is a crap load. But yeah, it's normal, stick with it.

thanks for answer. i wasn't bald, and still i am not bald,i noticed that i was losing hair 4 months ago, and i waited 2 months before i started using rogaine.but it didnt stop and i wanted to take precaution.my hair was falling out but i didn't noticed that my hair density was worse until i started rogaine.now do you think rogaine made my hair go into resting phase? can rogaine kill healthy hair? by the way i am sorr for my english.i am not very good at english..

be careful with minoxidil it can cause pituatary tumors, and sexual dysfunction if too much is absorbed into the body.

so if i stop using it,my healthy hair will never come back?

[redy]

no, it will just come back weaker.

All that happened was either a) your hair just decided it was ****ed by MPB and fell out due to that and will come back weaker or b) minox gave the follicle a shock into resting to regenerate and come back stronger

eitherway, it will come back, just either stronger or weaker depending on what made it fall out per follicle.

i am sure rogaine made it fall out.because i am 27 years old.i had full head of hair, you couldnt see my scalp even when my hair is wet.now you may ask why i used rogaine when i had full hair on my head.i thought i must take precaution before i lose my hair, and i used rogaine.why i used rogaine? because i used it in 2010 and 2012 also and it didnt make my hair like this,i got good results..but i dont understand what is happening now .i went to doctor and she said this is not a male type hair loss. and she also agreed rogaine made it like this and she thinks rogaine gave a shock and my hair went into resting phase.but i cant be sure.if my hair never comes back,i will never forgive my self,and i am thinking to apply fda how they approved a medicine like this which causes normal hair dies.i attached picture.first one i took 1,5 months ago,third one shows how my density is less than before,second one i cut my hair and you can see all my hair is thick and looks heahty,the last one i took 5 days ago.now everybody can call me stupid because i used rogaine for that hair but as i wrote, i used it 2 times before and it was good, thats why i used..

you really should run some blood tests for other things,

unless your body had some sort of reaction to the rogaine, or you had an onset of extremely aggresive hairloss, I have no idea how rogaine could possibly cause that to happen that quickly. Unless your hair was thinner than you thought it was before, which is also possible...

but you're kind of stuck using rogaine to see if it comes back, unless there is conclusive evidence in your blood or something, or an allergy to something in rogaine?

i went to a hair clinic and they took blood test, everything is normal.i dont think i have a allergy to rogaine because i used it also before 2 differen times.i dont know what to do.as i said i am 27 years old and i never saw somebody who loses that much hair in 2 months..as you see my hair looks thick and healthy but they are falling out and doesnt come back. i wrote to fda 20 different fda officers with my before after pictures. İf i dont get my hair back i will apply to court against johson & johson company or maybe also fda.because they approved this product.if they approved, they should wrote that it may causes healhty hair die. But they only say if u stop using u only lose what you gained.i really need help.but i am sure it isnot aga..
