    My story, my hair.

    No responsible surgeon would work on this at this stage. I guess there are crooks who take advantage. Also, even if they do hair transplant on you on your side, then the middle top hair would disappear in so much time leaving you not so natural. They can not work on middle part when hair is still growing...

    Minoxidil and pre-mature face Aging?

    One reason for saggy skin is that minoxidil retains water under skin layers. If that happens, you may simply reduce the dose/dropper slightly and it will help a lot.

    Actually you do not need to change shower habits, once every other day is perfect. Showers everyday is overratedl it takes away essential oil that your body needs. Unless, your food habits are rampant, and/or other issues, and/or you live outdoors in heat and dusty roads, then you might need it...

    Minoxidil without Propylene Glycol?

    PG is used so that the solution does not evaporate too fast leaving minoxidil behind on skin surface, not giving minoxidil a chance to absorp into skin. On the other hand, alcohol evaporates fast. You might want to try any alcohol (rubbing alc. etc. available inexpensively) into the solution to see if...

    Generic Finasteride 1MG Side Effects Question

    Brand names and Generics have the exact same active ingredient which in this case is called Finasteride. Propecia is a brand name given by the inventor drug pharmaceutical; while Dr. Reddy's is generic by a pharma under the license to market the same drug.

    Making a Topical "Cocktail"

    ok, I get it. The one you are taking is the whole plant shoot in it. There are brands that actually extract the active ingredient that is in question of interest here.

    finpecia suddenly stopped working ???

    If you have not changed anything, ie. stopped using minoxidil or added minoxidil etc., or the tabs are not fake, then it might be just a periodic shade or something and hair should come back possibly with vengeance. Also, know that it takes two months or longer after you change something, before you see...

You will notice that the "line" hair that are coming from vertex are probably thick and coarse. I think its a...
