I hear only good things about MSM, is there a catch? Does MSM accelerate the hair cycle and possibly male pattern baldness? Anybody have a bad experience with MSM aside from extra bodyhair?

How about lipoxidil or NanoSal anybody tried these?

Ok then, i'm holding you personally responsible for any shedding. And if the minoxidil doesnt work, maybe punching you in the face 1x daily will.

Im 23, woke up one day and said goddamn, my hair looks like shiit. Derm put me on finasteride, Ive been using it for a year now, I think it has made my hair thicker on top and in the front. My hair naturally parts in the center and it looks pretty weak there and around the temples. However* finasteride seems to...

I use finasteride, will that cause an increase in scalp test that needs to be dealt with? My hairline is still receding after a year of finasteride.

I'm not really current with the war on hairloss (never was!), but these are still the two main weapons right? Or are there newer options for maintaining hair? Are DHT inhibitors more effective than androgen blockers? Sorry for all the questions i've got alot of them :)

Still I wonder, does Minoxidil work without alcohol or is it a necessary evil ?

What do most people do to lessen the irritation caused by minoxidil???

I can not tolerate alcohol on my scalp it causes me some redness and flaking, not to mention it makes my hair look like $hit! Even the alcohol in Tricomin spray caused me some problems and I've had to stop using it. I want to start Minoxidil and could really use some advice! Must alcohol be...

Ok... Since my first post on this thread I've had time to test both Tricomin and Folligen sprays firsthand. And the winner is... Folligen! But really what I've learned is that I wasnt even needing a CP in the first place but some sort of moisturizing or...

My current situation is similar to yours. Been taking propecia since last fall and it has def allowed me to maintain and even regain some thickness up front, but the temples (especially the right) i fear are still creeping back verrry slowly. My hair naturally parts in the middle tho and because...

Ok... i'm at my desk, i scratch my head and a few hairs fall on top of a sheet of paper. I've noticed at the end of the hairs there is quite often a white bulb? maybe a scrap of scalp? Anyways, my question is: Is that my hair falling out at the very root never to come back??!!

I've been taking Propecia for over a year and I may have to start a new medication now. The new med says not to mix with alpha-blockers commonly used to treat prostate problems. Is finasteride an alpha-blocker?

Is it possible? Can I get away with only appling minoxidil at night and not in the morning, or will that not be enough for regrowth? Also, most of you will think I'm retarded, but can i put minoxidil on my face for those mutton chops i've always wanted?!?!!

Does anyone here know of a good forum for dermatology or nutrition? I want to know how to fight wrinkles and mainly keep the skin around my eyes in good shape. (Getting lines around my eyes lately! Propecia?)Also, male pattern baldness and diabetes runs in the family so I've been reading a little about SHBG and...
