New to Rogaine and a bit confused...

[desperate4hair]

hey guys just dropped $55 on a 3 month supply of the Rogaine Foam and I got some questions.

well after using Accutane it made me lose a lot of my hair. Most of the hairloss is in the front and its so bad that you can see through my hair right to my scalp. I cant style it anymore or do anything. Im only 19...and I got my acne problem taken care of thanks to the Accutane, but now it left me with a even more horrible problem

Anyway..my question is...I read on the Rogaine Foam directions thats its only inteneded to be used in the "vortex" and not if ur thinning or losing hair in the front? is this true? is it worthless for anyplace else except the vortex?

Also i heard about "shedding" will this happen if I use rogaine? Because I barely have any hair to even shed, I fear I will go bald!!!! Why does this have to happen to me!?!? im not even 20 yet!!!

anyway...any feedback will help. i want to hear some feedback before i open it up and use it. THANKS

The Rogaine bottle says only to use it on the vertext because when they did clinical tests, that's the only place they tested it on, so they can only state that it should be used on the vertex.

Many people on here have used it all over their heads and for many it has worked (example: receeding temples).

Shedding happens to a lot of people who use Ragaine. I believe the percentage of people who DO NOT go through a shed it very low. On the brightside, a shed is a sign that Rogaine is working.

When a shed occurs, new hairs push the old, small, limp hairs out and hence why you go through a shed.
