Just started to see my crown thinning?

I’ve noticed my crown has been looking quite thin lately. My hair, otherwise, is very thick – I haven’t noticed any temple recession or hairline receding, it’s just around the crown area.  Am I able to apply minoxidil to treat just this one area? Or must I put on entire scalp?

Many people with the genes for balding start off seeing thinning in the crown. Topical minoxidil is the best first line treatment for this. Apply it nightly after a hot shower so your pores open up and only put it where the thinning is in the crown.
