Tried both. Foam is the only one I've been able to stick with as it doesn't cause flaking or greasy hair.

That's great! I think I'll give it a go!

Thanks! I was on oral minoxidil but I didn't feel like my body was tolerating it well. Same story for me with the dropper, and would always experience terrible flaking. Will try foam!

Hey everyone! This may have already been covered before, so if it has, I'm sorry! One of the reasons why I stopped liquid minoxidil was due to the excessive flaking it was causing on my scalp. Presumably this was due to some of the ingredients in there. I haven't tried foam yet, but before I...

Update: I have stopped using Oral Minoxidil completely due to a concerning development of chest tightness and periods of irregular heartbeat. Not for me unfortunately.

I think it looks perfectly fine to me! It's normal to recede a bit, and your hair still looks thick to me. However, it's not about what I think, it's about what you think. If you're not happy with it, you're not going to suddenly become happy by not doing anything. You either need to change your...

Hey, first of all, I understand how stressful this must be. I'm not going to tell you not to stress as people were always telling me that and it didn't stop me from stressing! What I will say is that it is probably not as bad as you think it is! My advice may be unpopular on this forum. You are...

Update: I've talked to my hair specialist about these sides. I'm going to try taking a tablet every other day to see if the sides lessen. Will update this thread if/when I notice anything.

I hope I'm not being presumptuous in saying this but I feel like this routine could be a waste of time and money for you. I understand there's not much more you can do within your somatic limits but I don't think 15 minutes on your scalp before showering is nearly enough time for it to have an...

Difficult to say really. Even though shedding is a common side effect in the first month, it would be reasonable to assume that not everyone gets it. At the same time, topical minoxidil only really works for about 2/3 of men. It didn't work for me as my scalp couldn't absorb it (it was leaving...

Really sorry to hear that bro, that's rough. Have these sides stopped you from using minoxidil or have you decided to continue regardless of them?

Exactly! I'm not sure if my body would have adjusted to it with prolonged use, maybe it would, but I can't see myself sustaining that long term given what I experienced. Even if it's not having that much of a detrimental effect on your heart, it's the worrying that it will which makes it worse.

Following post is about my very brief experience with oral minoxidil. Thought it may be interesting for some people who are considering or are already taking it. I was recently prescribed oral minoxidil 5mg by a hair specialist. I was quite optimistic about trying it due to some great results...

It is ruining my 20's. I've become such a depressed and self-conscious person and my family are the ones who have to deal with me in this state. So maybe not bad but certainly not a good person.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my current predicament, I'm sure some of you can relate in part and hopefully will have some advice on how to feel better about myself! For the past two months I have been shedding a crazy amount of hair pretty much everywhere. Whilst washing/combing my...
