I was on Propecia for 9 years. Due to increasing sides, I quit 3.5 years ago. After quitting Propecia, I didn't use any hair loss treatments for 1 full year. I surprisingly maintained my hair for that year. After about a year, I started to shed...that's when I started up on Rogaine 5% liquid. Did that for about 2 years. Maintained my hair, which was great. After about 2 years, I started to very slowly loose ground. Around the same time I started itching like crazy after each Rogaine application. Figured it was PPG, so I switched to foam. Itching stopped right away, so I am fairly sure it was the PPG.
Since then, I have been on the foam for 4 months now. I've been shedding like crazy over the last month. Loads more than I ever have before. The switch to the foam did something. Since I am 4 months into foam, with no stop in the shedding, I was thinking about going back to the liquid (and using less of it to avoid the PPG irritation). Should I stick with the foam for another 2 months? Can a shed phase on the foam last more than 4 months? Or should I go back to the liquid? Any advice? Thanks.
Also I noticed less facial bloating with the foam in comparison with the liquid. Anyone else experience this? Cant make any sense of it, since they both are 5% minoxidil.
