Hi all, Ive had a read around the forums and cant seem to find an answer to this question so I'm making this post. I'm currently on the big 3, I have been since july 08 when I first noticed my temples receding very slightly (I was 22 at the time). I was already aware that male pattern baldness ran in my family (my brothers temples started when he was 19) so I got onto treatments straight away.
Ive been on the big 3 since then and things seemed to have stabilized, I havent lost any more hair. Id love some regrowth but to be honest Id have been happy just to have kept what I had, seriously it was barely noticable if you werent looking for it. But the last month or so ive noticed my right temple has began to lose a little more hair. Not a major amount, but Im concerned because I thought I was maintaining quite well. Again, Id still be happy if I could keep what I have now but Im concerned that I may lose more.
Obviously the big 3 medications say they are only for use on the vertex but they are effective on the temple areas, the companies just arent allowed to claim they are because they didnt test them there. Im seriously considering adding Topical spironolactone to my regimen and using that on my temples also as an attempt to prevent losing any further hair, and possibly to help some regrowth.
What do you guys think about this? Is it okay to use spironolactone alongside the big 3 already? Just so you guys know Im on 1mg a day propecia, regaine 2 or 3 times a day on temples, plus nizoral every 2 or 3 days.
Thanks for your help guys!
