Why do I keep using it? Great question. I sometimes headcase about scalp inflammation and itching so thats why. Ive never really had any scalp issues before so I dont think I will use it again going forward unless I really have to.
I actually used estrogel on my hair line many years ago but didn't stick with it long enough to see if it worked or not. Fatal breast cancer runs in my family so I didn't want to risk it.

I'm not sure how I feel about the "calcification" argument. We've seen many times here and on reddit mostly bald or fully bald men regrow almost entire heads of hair using hormones and minoxidil. My old friend Bridgeburn is one example that comes to mind. I am very interested in your test so...
