Started using Minoxidil 5% for 2 days and stopped it

[trynewhair]

i was seeing hair loss on the top of the my head. I have consulted dermatologist and he suspected that it could be male pattern baldness. And he suggested to use minoxidil 5% only on the top of head once a day. I was doubtful whether to start this or not. Because once we start i have to use it for rest of life.

Since the hair loss is not very severe, i was so hesistant to use. But i started using for two days and decided to stop it. It has been three days since i stopped it. I think i feel i lost some hair on the top.

Will there be any side effect since i used for 2 days? will i lose hairs from the spot? Please help me. i feel really stressed out.

Thanks in advance

It's very unlikely to have had any significant effect on your hair with 2 days use. These things are meant to be used for at least 6 months before any noticeable change. Sounds like you are just a little paranoid, which is understandable. Don't stress and don't worry about it.

yep, i guess it's just your imagination. If you don't want to use it then don't. But minoxidil can't do any harm in such short time.

Thanks for the reply..

But I am seeing spots on the top of the head where hair was dense.. really bad and worried.. will the hairs grow back from the spot or are they totally dead?

Or should I start using it again to get my normal hairs back?

I never thought using for 2 days have this effect..

man just stop seeing your face on the mirror. Nothing is happening to you. Give it atleast a month to see if there's any improvement.

I had a similiar expirience at the begining, applyed minoxidil for a couple days and got scared, washed my head like 5 times that day, i was feeling so paranoid thinking i have ****ed up my hair.
After a few hours i came to reason and started finasteride minoxidil and keto shampoo, i know real sheding now lol, i can tell you, your just beeing paranoid, you ll be fine, if your not sure about minoxidil do some hard research and make up your mind.
i kinda got used to it now it takes me about 5 mins every day to apply it, and i just find the time where i can let it dry alone while im studing or doing something alone.

Thanks for sharing your experience!!

i stopped using it for almost 9 days from today. I am not sure whether i can get those hairs back. Still waiting to see how much i will lose.

i think hairs which i have lost by minoxidil wont grow back. Is it okay to start after such a long gap? will it spread to other places?
