Okay, so I have been using Minoxidil 5% for about 6 months now, and I have absolutely no hair loss at the crown area. It's all concentrated at the frontal part - especially the temples. Before I started using minoxidil, I used to shed a lot. Once I shed so much I thought all my hair in the frontal area was going to disappear.
I bought Minoxidil during that time, and results were quick to appear. The shed stopped immediately and I barely had any hair fall during the showers. Fast forward 6 months, and hair growth has been minimal but so is the shed. When I stopped minoxidil for 2 days, I started shedding like crazy again.
Now, I was wondering why they say it doesn't work for a receding hairline? Maybe because it hasn't been tested properly yet, but they clearly say it doesn't work on receding hairlines.. Why is that? Some FDA requirement?
So how many people use minoxidil for frontal recession only, and how do you apply it? Over the affected area or a little over it? I have been having issues with acne on the forehead and I think it's due to minoxidil. So, how do others here apply it?
I'm 20 years old and I'm thinking of adding Finasteride to the regimen. Is Finpecia alright or do I need to get Propecia? Finpecia is much, much cheaper but I don't want to compromise on quality.
Also, does it like stunt your growth? I have been a late bloomer and still might have a few years of growth left.
