It's a known, and pretty common side effect of minoxidil. Systemic absorption seems to cause it, although some people don't need to take that much minoxidil for it to occur...sensible skin maybe, I'm not sure. In my case, I know for sure it has been caused by minoxidil because of how it happened...

I'm basically looking for people who have taken minoxidil, and have experienced a significant increase in body hair because of it, and have since discontinued the treatment. I'm wondering wether the body hair grown with minoxidil is dependent on the topical, like scalp hair, and if itactually ends...

I took minoxidil for about 4, 5 months. About 4 months in, a shed started. Is it normal to start this late? Also, I applied minoxidil on the temples and hairline, yet the shed occured all over. I've lost alot of density, even in "protected" areas like the back of the scalp. Can such a shed occur on...

took an accutane course last year, over 6 months. I'm 24. Before that, I had slightly receeded temples..nothing big really, probably like my dad, who was nw2 at 50. Anyway, after the treatment, last april, i noticed my frontal hair hadn't actually receded, but had gotten quite diffuse. Quite...

Right, so from what I've gathered, people over here doubt the efficiency of the product. From what I've read, the aminexil molecule is VERY similar to the minoxidil one. So from that point of view, I find it plausible that it works, and probably in a similar way. Now my main question: Being a...

everything else will NOT go away if you stop taking it. There have been reports of permanent impotence, erectile dysfunction and such, that are very real. I myself stopped taking propecia after 6 months, and my erectile problems sure are still here. I'm going to get flamed for this post, and...

I actually think 5 months on the same dosage is being patient enough. The body has had time to adjust, it's clearly not happening. I'm sorry if these posts annoy you, then again, I'm not forcing you to reply. Thanks anyway.

So i've been on finasteride for about 6 months now. I first took about 1mg/day, and has quite some decreased libido, and couldn't get a full erection. After about a month, I decided to lower the dosage to 0.650mg. Situation is okay really, I can get it up, but not rock hard like i used to, and that's...

some people gotta lay off the crackpipe. Visiting this website and probing everyone's hair makes some of you guys paranoid it seems. His temples are fine. For all we know, this is his normal hairline. If you think he's got hairloss, then about 90% of men have hairloss, and same goes for women...

Alright, I know this topic has talked about alot, but I just need some advice about it. Started finasteride 1.5 months ago, 1/6th proscar every day. I didnt really worry about sides, just thought I'd wait and see. Well, I'm experiencing decreased libido. Its not that I'm limp, just not as hard as...

mortensen looks alot more like a NW2 to me

I'd like to know about this aswell, as I have the same problem.

odd, but i doubt its surgery, his hairline has the same curve in it as before. His hair seems to have weird periods, 99 being worse, then better in 200, then worse again in 2000..then it definitely gets better. Maybe he's got really bad Telogen Effluvium, or is a good finasteride responder.

I was so sure someone would pop out that remark wino :P Seriously, no, waaayyy too cheesy for me. I do however watch Everwood every week, I admit it, aswell as CSI..but all that's off topic. Ty for your answer Traxdata. Which makes me wonder, am I like my father, or like one of my 4 maternal...

I'm trouble with this term people use sometimes. Is there such a thing? can you lose your hair to a certain extent, and then have it stop? I started wondering about this while I was zapping and came across 7th heaven (no, I'm not into conservatism or religion at all) and noticed David...
