First off I'm 34 and with the exception of a little receding on the corners of the temple I have always had a full head of hair.
However when I was around 22 I noticed a very small bald patch (about the size of a sweet pea) just above my widow's peak. I only noticed it cause I have been buzzing my hair for years. Over the years it grew a little bit bigger, but it hasnt expanded in many years and now it's maybe three quarters of an inch. (also, over the years I have noticed others who have thick full heads of hair but this same small patch of hair missing just above the temple, dead center, guys with buzz cuts obviously) I've always kept close watch but never took any measures in regrowing that spot. About 3 years ago I decided to get on propecia. Wasnt really losing hair but I was getting a little older and thought propecia would be a good way to forever secure the hair I already had. Plus I thought the small patch of hair might actually grow back but it never did.
Recently I have started noticing some 'lines' on the top of my head. Lines that look thinner than the rest of my hair, two in particular. One of them seems to continue at the top of the small bald patch I mentioned above. Like I said these are not bald areas but they are definitely thinner than the rest, otherwise I wouldnt have noticed.
Being that I'm already on both propecia and nizoral, if you were me would you also get on rogaine after noticing these 'thinning lines'? I'm starting to get a little nervous cause i've never noticed them before and also I'd really like to see if rogaine could possibly grow back that bald patch above the temple.
Please tell me what you think.
