    will minoxidil work on this area of my hair?

    I heard it doesn't work well in the part I circled, is this true or would minoxidil work there? Has anyone had success with regrowth in that similar area?

    Minoxidil works everywhere. It's just that some areas are harder to grow back than others e.g. temples, they are usually first to go because they are really sensitive to androgens. Those hairs in the circle should thicken up.

      This is how your hair has always been in this area, it will not thicken up.

      I suggest you look up body dismorphic disorder on Google.

        It works anywhere, whether or not it will actually work for you is for you to find out.

        However, they is nothing for you to regrow there...

          If that picture is of you, why are you a member of this website? And yes I have seen regrowth from minox on my temple points

            on the regaine/rogaine website, it says that it may thicken up those "vellus-type" hairs anywhere on the body

            it was only approved for crown area though due to it's clinical study parameters

            but it is worth a try for a year in those temple points you want thickened

              Because hair loss is destroying his life, just like it is ours.

                Are there guidelines to how much hair you have to lose in order to be a member on the forum?

                  He doesn't suffer from any hair loss. Temples points are like that on some people.

                  If he's "suffering" from that, he likely has body dismorphic disorder.

                    There should be...

                    If you have a perfect head of hair (like many people on the forums) but spend years on hairloss websites depressed over your "hiarloss" you don't suffer from mpb, you suffer from crazy. I'm astonished on almost a daily basis with some of the guys on the forums, if I had their hair I wouldn't even know these forums existed.

                      who the fuuck are you? I saw an IAHRS doctor in June of 2012, took pictures of my hair then saw him a year later where he confirmed I was in the early stages of mpb. Just cause that picture covers my hairline doesn't mean its not thinning and receded when I put it up.

                          normal

                          The people are reacting to you this way because the area you are pointing out looks like normal growth for that area. Maybe a better picture of behind that would show some thinning but your hairline is meeting up just fine in that picture. I dont doubt that you have experienced some thinning and nothing wrong with starting early. However if that is your soul area of concern you wont experience new hair but maybe some vellous hairs gaining a little more volume and pigment..Post some other pics because it does not look like you have lost hair but you know best I hope.

                            I agree. I was kinda joking.

                            But then again, what's perfect hair to you? If you're a Norwood 6, I'm pretty sure you'd be happy with anything more than that, not saying completely satisfied, more or less better than what you have now. It's like being fat, do you have to be 100 lbs or more overweight to want to lose weight and not be happy with your body? There are people who would be considered normal weight that would like to get in better shape. Some people want better. Personal preference IMO.

                            Levels of hairloss vary of course, I'd say I'm a Norwood 2 and I'm not happy. So someone with worse hairloss would obviously say I'd be happy or content with your hair. I'm not trying to pick a fight either, i just think if he doesn't like his hair the way it is, why not try and fix it. You don't have to have severe hair loss to want to improve your hair.

                              This is exactly what I mean. One extreme to another. You'd kill for his hair, that's what's upsetting you. Who are you to tell anyone you don't belong here because your hair loss is worse than his. I feel the need to say something because my hair loss isn't as bad as yours, so that means I don't belong here? ****s wrong with you? Pure ignorance. If someone's not happy, their not happy. Bottom line. Forget about your problems when trying to help someone else.
