Are you using rogaine liquid or foam? Foam is supposed to be much easier on the scalp.

Also Nizoral is recommended about twice if not thrice weekly. You could also look into getting a shampoo with piroctone olamine in it. There are lots available here in the UK anyway.

Maybe applying a mixture of olive oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera gel, a few drops of lavender EO to your scalp before showering? I sometimes do this for about 30 mins when my scalp psoriasis flares up. It's messy and runny as hell but it is soothing.

oh man!!! After really good results on my crown, 2 months later im losing all the hairs i grew again!!!Is this a second shed on top, or have I lost all my regrown regaine hair.

here is what happened

propecia - first two months nothing

months 3-7, nothing, slowly thinned on top

months 7 - 9 went on regaine 5% twice a day, shed a big huge patch all in the middle of my crown

months 9-11 grew it all back...happy
last month and half.......losing it all on the crown

Can i expect this to be another shed and it grown it back, or are the treatments not working????

PLEASE HELP, I WAS SOOO HAPPY " MONTHS AGO AS IT SEEMED THE TREATMENTS OF BIG 3 + tGEL WERE WORKING

i WANT TO CRY AGAIN :O(
