I am not sure if I understand when posters here on hairllostalk.com and elsewhere so commonly say that your hairs become dependent on minoxidil once you start. Does that mean even the thick/good hairs in the treated area become reliant on minoxidil for them to stay on your scalp? The derms that I met totally dismisses this "hairs becomeing dependent on minoxidil", as minoxidil is simply a growth stimulant, and if you stop, hairs will simply revert back to the way they were before you started minoxidil. I am also aware of claims be other posters that they go through massive shedding following stopping minoxidil so it seems like once you start there could be dangerous risks with stopping it. I am thinking about starting minoxidil maybe once every other day to reduce the chance of initial shedding and scalp irritation that drove some to stop and then go through massive post treatment shedding.
I'm not comfortable with Propecia for it carrying the risks of awardingtender breast or gyne, even though the risks may be small.
Please look at my crown in the attached pic. If I were to apply minoxidil, would I be applying it only to the part on the back of my head, and then into the area where the whirl (rear right side of my head)?
