Greetings,
I'm in my late 40's and have been experiencing more hair loss that began in my 20's. It was stable for quite some time but about 8 months ago I noticed my hair was thinning at the right side of my hairline and at the crown. I decided to try Rogaine out to see if I could at least stop the shedding and maybe even thicken the hair. I do have a bald spot at the back of my head but Im hoping to stop the creep forward.
After a couple of weeks of using Rogaine I noticed that I began shedding even more hair in front on the right side. I hope that is a good sign because it has made me pretty anxious and upset. Is this a sign it's working? I have been applying 1ml twice a day in back but just 1ml once a day at the hairline. It's so greasy that it's not practical to apply it before I leave for the day. Can I expect positive results by just using it once a day in front? I'm considering starting Propecia which I took for a few years in the late 90's. My only concern about taking that is whether I might be more susceptible to side effects since I'm a bit older now. I don't recall there being any side effects when I took it years ago.
Thanks!
