    Smile Another New booty

    I am a 20 year old male and I recently started getting a receding hair line.
    Over the past six month I have watched it drastically getting worst and worst. I went to Regenix and they tried getting me started on their skin irritating solution. I felt stupid when I found out it could possibly be a scam. I am taking Procerin, but it seems like it is another b.s product...

    I've been reading all these threads and it is great to have all of you share your experiences, people giving solutions and feedback.

    I noticed that if I want to get minoxidil it must be Rx, am I correct? I don't want to get jipped again. And should I just ask my everyday doctor about it? Not a specialist?

    I am about to get my hands on some Revita. I am hoping that I find something stable that works for me.


    So basically what I am asking from you guys; am I taking the right steps? All of your feedback is appreciated.


    Thanks!

    not sure where you are, but I can get rogaine from the grocery store. I see it in most places with shampoos etc.. no rx required.

    Rogaine 5% Foam is minox and its available without an Rx at any pharmacy or foodstore in the US.

    Propecia requires a Rx

    If you are going to use Minoxidil definetly use the Rogaine foam because it now causes very little irritation and most patients have no side effects at all. The generic and less expensive version may cause several negative effects and not worth saving the money.

    Thanks guys and Dr.
    So once I start using Rogaine I need to use it for the rest of my life?


    Sorry if I am sounding like I am looking for all the quick answers.

    That is correct you will need to use it forever as the world turns at this point in time. Who knows what the future will bring? I use 5% foam and are on an auto replenishment of every four months with them.

    well until you get to an age where you could care less or a medical breakthough happens. Yeah they recommend twice daily but I use it once daily and have on occasions forgot to use at all with no effect... It doesn't come in a day, nor will it go in a day...
