interesting, have you seen any improvements from leaving it in that long? I only do 5 minutes at a time although i am sure I could leave it in longer. I am afraid that if anything using it so much may do more harm than good.

I have been on 2% nizoral for about 4 months now and started doing every MWF but have since gone to every other day. I am not sure if I am applying it too much however the instructions say 3 to 4 times a week. Will applying it every other day cause more harm than good?

thanks for the response, i apologize for not responding sooner it has been a very hectic last couple of weeks. Over the last couple of years the temple recession has definitely grown, i am 25 now and i am not used to being able to see so easily through my hairline and it obviously concerns me...

I made a thread previously which in my mind did not properly show what I am seeing in terms of hair loss. I have attached better pics (some taken as recently as tonight), and would like everyone's opinion. I have been on nizoral for about a month, but think it may be time for minoxidil. I am afraid to...

Understandable, but I am not trying to rub it in anyones faces. Its a forum for hair loss in general and I believe I am in the early stages of hair loss and therefore wanted some advice and suggestions. I would like to catch it early to try and stop it as soon as possible. did you happen to see...

she doesn't think that I need the propecia as of right now but I wanted it in case I need it in the future so I dont have to go see her again. She didn't diagnose me with male pattern baldness but said that there is a lot of sebum/dry skin on my scalp so thats why I was given the nizoral prescription. I am not sure...

went to dermatologist yesterday and she wrote me a prescription for nizoral and generic propecia. I am going to try rogaine and nizoral for 4 months and if there is no effect or more loss of hair i am going to implement the propecia.

from what I can see it appears there is some recession yes.

ha I appreciate the compliment but i think the first pictures were probably not the best at showing what I am seeing. I took some better ones which show my view better. These pics are after a recent haircut, with very wet hair and under direct light. The top of my head and crown still look fine...

I went to my GP and she agrees that there is some thinning and recessions (I asked about a natural recession and she said that im too young to be experiencing that) so I am going to purchase liquid minoxidil and set up and apt with my dermatologist about saving my hair. I think I should take...

bump. still going to see my GP this thursday, still have not bought minoxidil yet

i don't think they have always grown slower, and it is much easier to see my scalp through my hairline than it used to be. In terms of my skin I appreciate the compliment but I don't really do anything to it, I have had naturally oily skin my entire life which has both positives and negatives...

are you sure? I thought that miniaturization and the shorter hairs is the beginning of the receding hairline? I have always had very thick hair and it has definitely started to thin quite a bit, maybe I need to take better pics?

I have been losing a good amount of hair for the past two years or now, but not until recently have I started noticing a thinning or miniaturization of the hairs on my hairline. I am not sure where I am on the Norwood scale. Is it a good idea to get on finasteride or minoxidil at this point? I am a little afraid...
