Weird Changes Through Minoxidil Usage, Need Advice.

[FJKJK]

Hello everyone,

After starting minoxidil around 4.5 months ago it was going very well and new hair was growing very plentifully and my hair was looking thicker. After around 3.5 months I went to a festival in which I couldn't apply it; this was after a summer of travelling so I was applying it around half the time, it was meant to be once a day. After this festival I noticed a lot of the new hairs that were growing were gone as well as thinning on the left side of my hairline and eventually my right side too.

Is the reason this happened my spotty usage of minoxidil or is male pattern baldness simply getting a fair bit worse very quickly? what should I do?

Continue using it as regularly and to schedule as possible.

A few days without using it seems unlikely to cause such a difference.

It could be a second shedding starting, just apply it twice a day as always and give it a 4-6 weeks and everything will be back to normal!. I know it feels horrible to watch the previous gains disapear but it will grow back even better.

were you having those thinning before you started it or did thinning happen after you stopped it?
