    Anyone have a spare minoxidil bulb applicator? I'll pay for it!

    I would buy a dabber from Dr Lee, but I'm sure those things are sponge-like and have no measurments - makes them not very useful. Anyway, I'll pay 10 dollars via paypal if anyone has a spare (preferably unused). Thanks.

    How bad is it to miss a few days of Propecia?

    Not damaging in any way. How could it be?

    shed or not? working?

    Regardless of what has happened, quitting Propecia would be a mistake at this point. 10 months is not a lot of time. Minoxidil will always make you shed to a degree, how could it not? Once you become accustomed to it, the penalty for quitting or laziness e.t.c. is lighter. Hair density...

    what are the chances of a shed happening to me?

    My questions are: 1.) What are the chances that I will shed at this stage? Do most people not have a shed? 100% if you keep looking in the mirror. Eventually you will see something which you will determine is the result of a shed. Stay away. 2.) If I do have a shed will I be worse than when I...

    How lon should last shed

    The timeframe can vary from weeks to months at both end of the spectrum. You should slowly, over the course of 3-6 months, see a gradual settling down. Of course this really depends on what a "normal" pattern is based on the individual. 3 weeks is nothing.

    acne on scalp

    The acne is not being caused by Nizoral and it's unlikely that it is being caused by Propecia. Acne on the scalp is common when male pattern baldness begins. Stay with Nizoral (1-2 times per week) and wash your hair regularly (yes I know this does not remove any additional sebum) . If there's no improvement in...

    advice needed!

    If you want to "boost results" then you should really be on Propecia. In fact, you probably should have started on just Propecia to begin with and monitored for 9-12 months. If I were you I'd slowly drop the minoxidil (you haven't been on it that long), start with Propecia and Nizoral/T-Gel and...

    Diffuse thinning all over......is it male pattern baldness?

    Do you lose hair when you run your fingers through it or tug it? Is your face and/or head excessively greasy? Is your head unnaturally itchy? If you answered yes to one or more of the above then you should probably start researching treatments. You'll feel your hair density change...

    avodart

    What I meant Antonio, was that in my experience every time you have a shed you look at your hair and go "right if I can keep this much hair I'll be happyâ€￾. Everyone is different of course. If you are truly at the stage where you feel you need a lot of regrowth you may be disappointed with...

    avodart

    You won't see much on any treatment after only 5 weeks. Look for a change in either hair texture, shaft thickness, density or shedding after six months. No change? Another six months. You said maintaining would be enough for you had you started six months ago, I have a feeling you'll change...

    How to use topicals when you have most of your hair (Bryan)?

    Since April of this year really. I've been off it for the past 3 months (a few doses here and there) as I am having surgery on the 14th of December and at the dose I was taking it would be silly not to quit. As for the results, oral spironolactone can be very effective. It stops all sebum production...

    How to use topicals when you have most of your hair (Bryan)?

    Spironolactone 5% does not smell at all. It will probably have some kind of odor if you mix it with Minoxidil. Have you been using minoxidil on areas that are not currently thinning? If not then there would be no interaction between the two as you should be using the minoxidil on bald areas or...

    How to use topicals when you have most of your hair (Bryan)?

    You would use Spironolactone 5% from Dr Lee. You would take a thin comb and part your hair straight down the middle. Lightly dip your finger in the spironolactone tub so you have a small pea size amount and rub it straight down the part into the root of the hair. Make similar partings to the left and...

    Import of Propecia tablets

    Andy Back in the day I used to use Direct Response Marketing - http://www.1-stop-pharmacy.com/ I never had any problems with delays. Always reliable, not the cheapest however.
