Thank you for your answer. I guess nizoral is only to supplement finasteride then. Does finasteride cause acne on face? I had this big break out about 3 weeks ago, and with some clear-sel medication, it has subsided, but it left me with pink spots on my face. (though it's going away) Anybody has the same problem?

Thank you for your kind advise flux. I don't think I am desperate for regrowth at this moment, so I guess saving minoxidil for later is a better option for me. When I restarted, I will try PPG free minoxidil like you advised.

I do not have the same hair cut since I started my regimen, I am not too sure if my progress is going well or bad. Since about 2 weeks ago, I started getting sheds. For first 3 1/2 months, I was only losing minimum number of hair, but these days, I lose about 30 hairs in the shower (thin and...

I was on minoxidil 5% nightly only on my hairline & temples, and now I am down using to once every other night. The problem is that it gets very itchy, and very very flaky. I am planning to drop minoxidil. My question is this: Does finasteride + nizoral (2%) only without minoxidil will cause flakes? Now I am not...

Does anybody have success story thickening up / holding up front hairline (Temples as well) with Propecia alone? I am losing my front/temple slowly, and was using Rogaine for 3+ months. Now I am getting really bad flakes, and worried about the dependency of minoxidil, I am trying to drop it. I am...

a merry Christmas~ I wish you a merry Christmas~ I wish you a merry Christmas~ and the happy new growth~ Good luck to all of you growing hair in 2004. I also hope that they come out with a cure in 2004.

I was hardly losing anything for past 3 months into the treatment of big 3. All the sudden, I am seeing a little bit increase in shedding. Before 3 days ago, I run through my hair with comb/hair and nothing would come out, but now I drop 2-3 hairs per round. All these hairs are short or...

Yeah first week was rough. It'll get better as your scalp will get use to it. It seems like there's a big cycle of like 2 weeks (having no flakes & coming back) It isn't too bad. When flakes become bad, try skipping minoxidil application, that really helps to give your scalp time to heal...

Thanks! Anybody else find it sexy?

I've been doing this for last 2 months or so. I think I am thickening up a little bit while stopping the loss. Sometimes I even skipped for like 2 or 3 days once in a while. I do this before going to bed, so I can take a shower in the morning, and my hair will be clean.

How do you like my new avatar? It took me a while to figure out how to make it small enough to post it here. I wonder how people do their animated gif so small?

I saw someone posting this before. I saw that commercial last night. I was laughing pretty bad, then I felt pitty for myself. I always loved Geiko's commercials (especially the squarrel one), but that commercial was very insensative. I forgot the exact quotes from the commercial, but I...

Thanks. I hope I don't hit a wall though I am ready for it when I hit it.

Great to hear from you. Good to hear that you started finasteride about the same time, and you are already seeing the progress. I think you are making a right choice not getting on minoxidil right away. For me, I was scared of losing my hairline too fast, so I got on it. I apply minoxidil only on my...

Writing this just to let you see my updated regimen & avatar.
