Shedding from Rogaine Foam?
I started using Rogaine Foam 3 weeks ago and I’m concerned with the amount of shedding I’m experiencing. I’m well aware that shedding is supposed to take place when starting rogaine for 2 weeks to 2 months but it’s hard to look at the sink and instantly see 50 to 75 hairs sitting there each time I use rogaine. Which is twice a day. I have a mature hairline so I’m not really bald. I have always had really fine hair so that’s why I get concerned. I know people lose something like 50 to 150 hairs per day who aren’t having any hair loss issues but I’ll shed 100 to 150 hairs a day from the use of rogaine and that’s not counting the hairs that shed that I don’t see. When I look at my scalp, it don’t feel like it looks any different now with the shedding going on. But maybe that won’t be the case in another month. So I was just wondering if you think I’m shedding TOO much. Thanks
First, I would want to know what you are treating and if it is necessary to use the Rogaine. Minoxidil is reported by users to have a short shedding period that lasts up to a couple of months and it is believed to be the result of an acceleration of the hair cycling process. I can’t help you further without examining you.
