Did bodily Hypertrichosis indicate that Minoxidil was effective with your scalp hair?

Please vote on this poll to establish whether an association exists with bodily hypertrichosis and Minoxidil responsiveness with scalp hair.

Or maybe 'very nasty bodily hypertrichosis and few vellus hairs on the hairline that can only be seen with certain bright lights'
That's the same as no scalp results if the scalp results cannot be seen easily with the naked eye you do not have scalp results imo. Having a microscopic improvement only visible via macro pics or dermoscopy is bullshit imo

That’s not a good poll at all. Like others said. I would also add, hair regrowth and no bodily hypertrichosis.

You are eliminating a bunch of would be voters by not adding some hypertrichosis and no scalp hair regrowth.

If this poll becomes popular and stumbled on by some poor young soul looking for hair loss treatment, they will take minoxidil and think that because they see body hair growth, that means they will see some scalp hair regrowth as well.

Yes same for me body hair that I didn't have before starting oral minoxidil I had the body hair of a teen girl
I also have no results on scalp. So body hypertrichosis dies not mean it's working for the scalp hair

Well the drug is definitely reaching the follicles if it is reaching the rest of your hair. However it just goes to show how important it is to address the androgenic side of things, since minoxidil can only do so much. Without addressing androgens sufficiently, it's like you're swimming against the current, and an extra paddle (minoxidil) can only do so much. Slow that current down (antiandrogens, etc) and your second paddle becomes much more valuable.

I was on several meds too and still losing hair and shedding more than I used too. As @Mr. Slap Head says, try topical antiandrogen. It eased the itchiness and my shedding is highly decreased. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it has done more for my hair than dutasteride did in a year and a half.
