    Default (PICS) Should I Stop Using Minoxidil?

    Been using Minoxidil over a month on my hairline. I know shedding is normal but to me it seems excessive. I'm shedding all over, not just my hairline.

    I feel my hairline has gotten considerably worse and seems to me like its really pushing back. On the other hand I see small hairs on my temples (cant really see in the pic), but I don't know if those are new hairs or just hairs that havent fallen out yet from the shed.

    In your opinion does my hairline look considerably worse? From all the side effects I'm now reading about I'm really considering stopping.

    I'm no expert but your hairline is better than mine and I'm 15. Keep using minox and try to use a derma roller once a week too. 1.5mm read about honestly too lazy to give all the details

    Shedding is normal and it's also normal to shed from all over and not necessarily only from the area to which you're applying the minoxidil.

    If the small hairs at your temples are indeed new then of course that's a positive sign.

    Your hair looks nice and thick overall and your hairline is only slightly receded. Considering everything you've described, I think you'd be best off continuing with the Minoxidil.
