Response David: Change happens so slowly that it it often goes unnoticed. In your case, based upon your photos, I feel you have improved. I would continue your current regime and if Xandrox gives you any problems you might get a prescription for Minoxidil that is dispened at a compounding...

Discussing the Gho thread Discussing the Gho thread: I read with interest the lengthy postings about Dr. Gho’s research. Having spent 36 years in dermatology and the last 16 relatively limited to hair, there are some points that may add to the overview of the field. This is NOT an...

Response Ashley: Wait to see a dermotologist at your home area. As far as further therapy goes, some females do better on Spironolactone added to the Rogaine. The BCPs can certainly cause loss as well and if you can use other methods perhaps that would be best. The comments from Nay may be...

Intense dieting can produce telogen effluvium, which is almost always self limited to about 3 months duration, after which the hair will regrow in most cases. Resumption of a balanced diet is advisable :!: Rogaine may help hair grow only 1/2 inch per month, so expect it to take a year or so...
