Thanks guys! Much appreciated. And I have actually been on finasteride for a year, so we'll see how it progresses :)

It is definitely a possibility that the timing was entirely coincidental. Though, it would be quite the coincidence, as I started to rapidly lose hair a month after starting minoxidil, after 2 years of more gradual loss :)

Hi all, I was planning to go through with an FUE procedure a couple months ago with Dr Rahal in Ottawa. I'm a pretty diffuse thinner with a receding hairline, so I was hoping to fill in the top, and also lower my temples just a bit. However, after meeting with Dr. Rahal, he informed me that if...

Hi all, I've lurked these boards for a long time, and I really respect the opinions here. I'm hoping to use some of those opinions, as I've become just completely overwhelmed by the potential treatment options I've read about here and all across the internet. But first, a bit about me: •...

I agree with kthxbi. I'm sympathetic to these folks as well, but if there was known behaviour that stopped hair loss, we would all likely STOP that behaviour. The cancer-causing properties of cigarettes have been known for decades. Every case of cancer is tragic, but if I'm going to be 100%...

Thanks! I appreciate your response! May I ask, how many times I week did you use the Nizoral?

Hello everybody! I've been suffering from rapid diffuse thinning for abouta year now (I was losing it more slowly before that). Just started on finasteride, but that's not what my question is about. It seems as though my scalp is almost always oily and sometimes itchy. Could this presumed excess of...

Thank you yet again!

Thanks for the quick reply, Nene. Much appreciated. You're probably right that I just won't respond to it. In your opinion, if you have one, do you think the hairs I shed while on minoxidil will grow back when I take myself off it? Thanks again, Rex

I've been using Rogaine 2% for slightly over 4 months now. I noticed shedding about a month in, and I'm actually STILL shedding. My hair is noticeably thinner now than when I started. Has anybody else shedded for SO long? Do you think I should get the hell off this stuff? haha. I AT LEAST hope...

Hey guys, I'm really happy to have found this forum, because unfortunately I don't feel my doctor is knowledgeable enough about hair loss, and I have questions! I'm hoping some knowledgeable gents here might be able to help answer the few that I have. First, a brief explanation of me. I live...

Thanks a lot for the help DHR and Thylax!

Hi everyone, I'm a guy in my late twenties starting to consider getting an hair transplant some time in the future. I'm thinning on my crown and also my temples. I started minoxidil about 6 months ago, but I can't go on finasteride because my blood pressure is too low. Unless I get amazing results on minoxidil, I'm...
