I have receding hairline and thinning on the top. Should I be even trying Rogaine? The instructions clearly say that it is specifically for vertex problems(top of head). What's the alternative, then?

Is it true that rogain has alcohol content? It sure smells like that. Is this harmful? Especially in the case of psoriasis. Is there a non-alcoholic alternative?

Yes, I am hoping to hear some thoughts for a plan B on here. I've got no idea at the moment, so no plan B :(

I am interested for a diagnose and advice first, as well as prescription for propecia/finasteride, to begin with, but also discuss potential transplant down the line. Who would you recommend that I see? I live downtown.

I am considering starting with these, as suggested on this forum, so I have a few questions. These may be answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find the responses. I also thought it would be good to have all explanations on the same spot. 1) Is it true that finasteride is same as propecia? If so...

I have had general exams and bloodwork done fairly recently, and multiple doctos have told me it is male pattern baldness. Do I need doctor's perscription for finasteride? How does it compare to propecia? I have the impression it is the exact same thing. However, are certain brands more effective? What seems to...

Thank you very much for your valuable input. Can you please tell me more about finasteride vs propecia? Is one better than the other? How do they compare with respect to side effects? What specific brand to use?

Has anyone tried this? What is the consensus on these forums for this program? Does it work? If not, what's better?

Do I need to consult a doctor before starting Finasteride? Is 27 the right age for it? Where would I normally get it, ebay/amazon?

Finasterie sounds risky, given the possible side effects. I have mild psoriasis, and use Ketoconazole for it. I've heard that minoxidil/rogaine may affect psoriasis/dandruff negatively. Is this true? Also, should I go for 2% or 5%?

I've heard that it can make matters worse. Should I not be trying it? I have mild psoriasis and use Ketoconazole for it.

What is finasteride?

I am 27 and live in Chicago. I have uploaded(attached) some images. My problem is frontal and upper thinning and receding. I am willing to spend up to 15k to solve this problem for good, so money is not so much a problem, but I also don't want to throw away more than 20k on something that...

I am interested in taking a food supplement that contains minerals and proteins, but does not interact with my hormones, i.e. does not affect DHT. Any recommendations? I would be using this in a conjunction with Rogaine and shampoo.

I read that it used to be good, but in 2012 they moved production to China, and afterwards it became dilluted and less effective. Anyone has recent experience with DS Labs Revita Shampoo and Conditioner, and what are your thoughts?
