    Default Some concerns that i have. Can anyone pls answer?

    I've been on rogaine for approximately 9 months and the shedding is really minor compared with the time i didn't use rogain at all. Before starting on rogaine i used to loose 150+ hairs a day. Some thinks ar concerning me:

    1. Is it normal to shed around 5-10 hairs when running hands through/rubbing you scalp when it's itchy?

    2. In my early stages of using rogaine i had a initial shedding (was shedding like hell!), but after 3-4 weeks the shedding almost stopped i only used to shed like 5 hairs when rubbing my scalp, scratching and so on.

    3. but now whenever i apply anything to my scal, could be oil, rogaine, shampoo etc. i notice some shedding (15-20 hairs i think). Is this normal? And the only time i observe this kind of shedding is while i'm applying something to my scalp.

    4. For some time now (around 4 weeks) i ahvent been correct with my application. Some days i only applied it once, some days never, and some days i never missed the 2x application. But i've been using it regulary 2x a day again since 5 days. Could this be causing a new initial shedding? And will it stop?

    5. As a consequence of me being afaraid of not applying rogain correctly i have been using a bit moore than the recommended dosage (it says 6 pushes to apply 1 ml, but i use around 10). this is mainly because i have long hair and i want to make sure that i get all around my affected areas on my scalp. Do you guys have any good advice/technique on how to apply rogaine correctly so i don't have to overuse it?

    6. And just so you guys now, there is NO signs of MPB or thinning yet, as i caught it really early.

    I know it's a lot to ask, but pls bear over with me. Thx alot in advance!
