    Mixing liquid Minoxidil with Stemoxydine?

    I haven't seen any myself, although I've used it long enough to notice an improvement so that's good enough for me at this point

    Foam To Liquid = No Skin Penetration?

    When I apply the foam it turns into a liquid within seconds of hitting the skin. But I do use my fingers to spread the liquid to cover more scalp, not sure if I would call it rubbing it in though... Would be interesting to see if you switching to liquid does improve your response to it

    Started dutasteride and losing hair where I did not have any problem

    I've been on dutasteride for 4-5 months now, and am still aggressively shedding all over (rather than just the balding areas). I've only just started to see some baby hairs come through. I was concerned that removing 100% of the DHT from the hair follicles that aren't sensitive to DHT...

    High estradiol and testosterone, OK to start finasteride?

    Id give it a try and get a test done again in a month of use. That will be the only way to really know. Just have some Tamoxifen and Aromasin (or arimidex) on hand in case your estrogen does shoot up and you experience sides, from my understanding they are both pretty fast-acting. And if E2...

    MinoxidilMax crystalizing on scalp (maybe?)

    Good post! I'm interested in the responses you get. Ive never had this issue as I use foam, so wouldn't know, but I have seen people mentioning they apply their minoxidil when their hair is wet to increase the absorption. I really don't know if this could help but worth a try..?

    Making Your Own Less Oily Minoxidil Liquid Solution.. Anyone's Experience?

    I have long hair and liquid Minoxidil is far too oily and makes my hair look greasy as hell, so I use the foam as it dries quicker; however, the foam is hard to apply directly to the scalp and I feel like 50% goes on the hair strands. Ideally, I'd like to use a dropper and apply it directly to...

    I'm trying to stay calm but it's tough.

    Good to hear! Its soo easy to jump to the worst-case scenario and accuse finasteride/dutasteride of being the problem, especially when there are soo many horror stories floating around.

    I'm trying to stay calm but it's tough.

    Well then it doesn't sound like gyno to me. I understand you're freaked out. I've had gyno, and had to get surgery to remove it so even now, the experience causes me to notice tenderness /awareness of the nipple/area (especially the fact I take dutasteride 0.5mg per day), and the more I think...

    Dutasteride made my gynecomastia worse. What should I do?

    Try a tropical Dutasteride, and swap to a low dose of finasteride (0.25mg per day). This should reduce any systemic side effects you might be experiencing. Also, it's worth getting your blood work done to test your test/estrogen levels before and after the changed protocol. This way you will...

    Little hairs growing from where I have receded

    Your hairline looks really good btw, I wouldn't in any way class you as receding. They do look like miniaturized hairs though (if they were longer, stronger-looking hairs prior). Due to your age, id speak to your doctor. It's hard to say as you are 16 years old; your hormones naturally will be...

    I'm trying to stay calm but it's tough.

    In response to the gyno: Always have Nolvadex on hand (also known as tamoxifen). This is an anti-estrogen that binds to the gland in the nipple, blocking any further estrogen from attaching and causing havoc. This is commonly used in steroid users who use multiple amounts of androgens...
