Minoxidil question

[j_bess1]

Just received my minoxidil treatment in the mail, I didn't do my full research before ordering the rogaine foam. My main issue for my mpb is a receding hairline and the rogaine says it doesnt treat this (only the back of the head). Should I not use the product? My hairline is receding pretty bad, im 22 and want to fix this. I want to start the treatment asap, does rogaine not help thicken hair on the front of the head? Will using rogaine make my receding hairline worse? Please help. thanks!

The studies were not done on the front, so they are not allowed to say anything about the front.

A lot of users have reported use in the front is beneficial. I suggest using it in the front, I plan on using mine in the front also.

You can use it anywhere you are losing hair.

Good luck

Sweet, thanks. I just wanted to make sure that I wasnt going to lose more hair then I already was. Any other stories or feedback on this issue? If this is the case, that you can use it anywhere, I will post progress to keep everybody informed.

Cool, yeah. Take a bunch of photos on day 1. Make sure to take more than 1 photo.

Then keep track of progress.


Note that you might have some initial shedding. It obviously varies from person to person.

lol my shedding is already pretty crazy, but im still willing to give it a shot. I hear the the initial shedding phase is about 1.5 months or so. I just hope that the hair i shed will grow back. receding hair lines suck. Thanks again for the help budd

my hiar started slowing crapping on my life since I was 17...im 20 now and it looks crap.

i really really really hope finasteride and minoxidil will reverse some of the damage...

So is your mpb mainly receding hairline or is it more of a bald sot on the top of your head? If it was a receding hairline, is the treatment growing some hair back in that area?
