Having Troubles Applying Rogaine Foam

Thanks for all you great help and advice Dr. Rassman & Dr. Pak…Its obvious how much your site is appreciated by all the balding males and females…

Anyways, my question revolves around the application of rogaine to the scalp. I have a decent amount of hair on my head and find it hard to get rogaine directly to the scalp – especially the foam…..I part my hair but still find that it seems my scalp becomes more saturated with the medication rather then my scalp…Does rogaine get absorbed to the scalp systemic circulation and cause hair growth across the scalp or rather just in the area applied? Do you have any advice for the application of minoxidil or rogaine foam? I have read the information that comes with the actual foam but its not that informative…just tells you to part your hair and apply to the crown (from what I understand though is that Rogaine has shown growth all over the scalp except the temporal region). I apply to the frontal region and crown myself…

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

I suppose having trouble applying Rogaine because you have too much hair is a good thing. You can try parting your hair and applying around the part. Or applying it when your hair is damp and shows more scalp area. I would apply the foam anywhere you want hair to grow. It may not work as well on the temporal or frontal region, but it does not hurt to try.
