I simply do not agree with the doctor that suggested using Rogaine 3 days a week. Twice daily use will give you the best effect from minoxidil (Rogaine), but even then, the medication isn’t likely to do much to treat your hairline corner recession. Any expert in hair loss should know that.

After 3 months, a dependency probably did not develop, so you can quit anytime. I wouldn’t expect any results to be seen in only 3 months. It’s recommended to use the product twice a day for at least 4 months before any benefits might be seen. I don’t know what else you’re going to try, […]
Hair loss from benzodiazepines are usually uncommon, though it is known to occur. You need a specialist on female hair loss to assess what is happening to you. Minoxidil can cause a short term shed (1-3 months) usually reversing with the benefits progress from that point forward.
Without an exam, this is a highly subjective question to answer. Moreover, we do not give medical recommendations on BaldingBlog. Rogaine (minoxidil) can sometime cause initial shedding, but it should generally reverse over time (should wait at least 1 year). You may see the reversal in as early as 3 months.
Your experience is unusual. Shedding reports with Rogaine do not explain your findings. I don’t have all the answers, and this is certainly such a case. There is a suggestion that for some users, Rogaine accelerates the anagen stage in the hair loss cycle, which means that it first has to go through telogen (hair […]
I wouldn’t say it’s common to see increased shedding after 6 months of Rogaine use. I’ve heard about shedding after starting the medication, but that shedding shouldn’t reoccur after half a year. The loss could be coincidental to something else going on. You might want to go back to your prescribing doctor for a follow-up. […]
I think the idea is to apply the foam to the scalp as much as possible. Maybe they are suggesting that you part your hair to apply the foam to the part, then part your hair again adjacent and apply the foam at the new part, then re-part your hair adjacent and apply, etc, etc. […]
You can tell if hair is coming back if you look at the mirror and see an improvement. I realize this sounds basic, but afterall, you are using a medication to see real life results (not just to say you grew some hair). I am not sure about Rogaine sun bleaching your hair. I have […]
I don’t remember hearing this complaint before, but tingling hands are a rare known side effect of minoxidil. It could be a sign that too much medication is being absorbed in the body. Are you using the medication at the correct amount and only twice a day? The generic should be the same as the […]
In my opinion, Rogaine does a poor job of thickening hair. Rogaine generally grows fine hairs, so using the medication would not really result in too much thickening of your existing hair. You can give it a try if you want to see for yourself.
Rogaine Foam is meant for use on the top, crown, or vertex area of the scalp. It is not likely to work on the front temples. I realize many people apply the foam to the front areas, but it will have minimal effect (if any). Rogaine should not cause hair loss or shedding of hair […]
When the hair shaft gets thicker (as with the use of Rogaine and / or Propecia) the hair will change to its normal, possibly darker, color. Miniaturized hairs tend to be lighter.
Yes, you can use the foam and liquid on the same day. As for “PG”, I assume you mean propylene glycol. It is included in minoxidil to help the medication penetrate the scalp (see here). Some people use ketoconazole with hopes of treatment help in the battle against hair loss, but I’ve got mixed feelings […]
Rogaine (minoxidil) should have no effect on your sperm, nor have I have read anything supporting what you read about it affecting the fetus. Of course, if you’re concerned you should talk to your doctor. Perhaps you’re confusing it with Propecia (finasteride), which has rare side effects related to ejaculate and fertility (but not change […]
Generally, when I recommend a medical treatment for androgenic alopecia (AGA), I only have two proven medications I can recommend: (1) Rogaine (topical minoxidil), and (2) Propecia (oral finasteride 1mg). While you can start taking both treatments at once, it would be difficult to assess which medication had more or no benefit. So I usually […]
