Sorry for all the questions

Sorry, I didn't understand what the problem was because you said obviously some goes on the hair... but mentioned This is not enough to be concerned about though.

I didn't know that was any concern, if it did which is why I asked the question, if a lot goes on the healthy hair does the whole head become dependent on it even if it was put on hair that isn't falling out?

Obviously on a diffuse head it's going on all the hair... can't be helped

Hey man.

We all understand your fears and apprehension. Tracy gives out excellent advice based on years of research. She wouldn't steer you wrong. If she says take the meds, then go get the meds and take em.

At very least, take Tracy's advice to a doctor and ask them if you should follow through.

I get that, I'd just been reading about people who say that their healthy hair became dependant on the Rogaine too, that's what I was trying to ask about. Because obviously as a diffuse you have no option but to plaster if over the whole front and back of your head

Hey.

My diffuse was in the front to mid scalp. Still thick at mid scalp back to crown.

So I never went the rogaine route. Does it stop the bleeding ? Whats the regrowth like?

No idea yet... what do you mean bleeding?
Mine has gone crown to front now, much more rapidly than when the crown was thinning, that was a long process, but mid, back and front seem to thin out much too quickly, hence my panic

It's not that your healthy hair becomes dependant, it's just that as time goes on your healthy hair started to be effected by mpb and Rogaine keeps it growing, where as otherwise, you would have lost it.

Same with propecia. If you use it for a long time and then stop, you will lose more than what you started because the drug was keeping hair you would have otherwise lost. It just means the drug was doing it's job.
