    Default 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...

    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.
