There is no way to predict if the hair will grow back, but I suspect it will once the allergic reaction passes. It will take months to see the positive impact on regrowth.

No, that doesn’t make sense. Rogaine (minoxidil) can work for years. There was apparently a clinical study that lasted 48 weeks, but that doesn’t mean the hair loss restarts at the start of week 49. We addressed this years ago here.
These are two complex issues which should be overseen by a competent doctor who knows about minoxidil and relaxers. Generally speaking, minoxidil (Rogaine) will work on African Americans who use relaxers with no difficulty, but it is recommended that you don’t use the minoxidil on the same day that your hair is chemically relaxed, as […]
I don’t know anything about your hair loss history to be able to recommend a treatment path to take. If you have genetic hair loss, see a doctor about a prescription for Propecia. Rogaine/Regaine/minoxidil might help if your hair loss is in the crown, but this doesn’t address the reason your hair is continuing to […]
Most patients in that situation do not stay on these drugs. It is worth noting that if there is residual hair still present or the fringe area has not been impacted and shows signs of miniaturization, then these drugs have value. If you were a Norwood 3, for example, then finasteride would help minimize shock […]
How are you sure it was the Rogaine (minoxidil) and not the Propecia (finasteride) that caused the regrowth? If you stop either treatment, you will probably lose what you gained, even if the benefits were only visible on the one side. It’s up to you whether you’re willing to risk it. If you end up […]
I’m not sure what you’ve experienced with just a short history. Rogaine is used to grow hair. Some patients have reported initial hair loss in the first month, but those usually grow back within a few months. You can give it about a year to see if the hairs will grow back. You must also […]
Sure. If you just started using Rogaine (minoxidil) a week ago, you haven’t seen any benefits from it yet. Stopping it now shouldn’t be a problem.
Rogaine has been known to grow hair in the skin and it might help facial hair, but the hair will probably not be strong like a real beard. You’re 20 years old, so your best bet would be to just wait a little longer to see if the facial hair starts to come in on […]
I would follow the instructions including in the packaging. The basic idea is that you apply Rogaine (minoxidil) where you want hair to grow, twice daily. If you apply it on the top, it wouldn’t really do much for the front.
I haven’t heard of this being done before, but I’d think that this is a reasonable solution to your problem.
I think you are doing pretty much all the right things. Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are the only medications approved by the FDA for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. The next step may (or may not be) a hair transplant, but that would be decided on by a consultation with a doctor. If the […]
I do not know of any age limit for using Rogaine (minoxidil). The packaging may include information about studies being done on people aged 18-49, which just means that it wasn’t studied as a hair loss treatment for those 50+ (not that you necessarily have to stop at that age).
I personally never heard of this from any of my patients. Moreover, I do not believe erectile dysfunction or impotence is a side effect of Rogaine (minoxidil).
Maybe you should stop pulling on your hair. How easily your hair falls out has no real clinical significance with Rogaine or Propecia use. There is no magic drug, shampoo, conditioner, or potions that will help strengthen hair. There are hundreds of products out there. Try them. I am not against them, but you WILL […]
