Hi. 26 year old female. I've had a slowly receding hairline for a number of years. No one could really tell besides me. It has accelerated in the last six months, and I've begun to take action as none of my dermatologists believed me. One doctor finally recommended Rogaine. I've been using it for about a month. I've had itching (which I understand is common) and sometimes a tickling / creepy crawly feeling. My front hairline has historically experienced breakage before the hairs fall out. I'm now experiencing the breakage all over. I cannot find anything that tells me if this is the same as the shedding that is common why you start to use Rogaine. My understanding is that this shedding is just purely your hair falling out. Has anyone else experienced this breakage (first 4 inch hair, then 2, then 1/2, etc before it falls out)? I don't know if I should ride it out or stop now because I didn't have that much of a problem with the rest of my hair, just the front prior to beginning Rogaine. THANKS.
