Hello, I am a 32 year old Indian male. No real history of baldness in the family. Dads got plenty of hair.
1 year ago, I had the smallest amount of hair loss at the vortex. About 0.5 inch by 0.5 inch. And great hair everywhere else.
I was told to start rogaine and was told to apply it everywhere. Feb 2017, I started. The liquid, tried to do it twice a day but often failed to do it. Average once a day.
I shed sooo much hair because I do not think I was supposed to put it in everywhere. Even where I didn't have thinning.
After losing a lot of hair/volume, I stopped rogaine in November 2017. So I basically did rogaine once a day for about 8 months. I have been off for 2-3 months now. However I am still shedding about 25/30 hairs in the shower. Especially when I shampoo my hair, 2x a week. I try not to shampoo the rest of the week.
SOO What do you guys think my next option is?
A) Start rogaine again even where there wasn't thinning to begin with (basically do what I was doing for those 8 months)?
B) No rogaine restart and see if my natural hair grows back. (Not sure how many months after discontinuing I should see my normal growth again)
C) Start rogaine only in the vortex area?
My concern is I might have ruined my own hair because I should have only applied to the vortex. But I parted my hair and applied everywhere. But I also read everywhere that rogaine cant damage your hair so not sure what to think.
Thanks! Any insight is welcome
