Not Seeing Any Progress With Topical Rogaine, Should I Switch To Foam?

So I've been using Rogaine for about 3 months, and I haven't really seen any progress (and I guess because of different light, I"m not sure if it's gotten worse, either), and I'm wondering if it's because I still have too much hair? Like I'm not properly able to rub it in to my scalp? Generally I just try to drop it on to the bald spot then use my fingertips to rub it in in small circles til it feels dry, but it might not be able to absorb all the way?

I guess I'm wondering if I should try foam, maybe it'll absorb better? Anybody have experience with this?

And if it's just a lack of success with Rogaine what should I do as far as treatment? I'm using Rogain twice a day and a quarter tablet of finasteride once, what else can I do?

Three months is a short time in terms of hair treatment success evaluation. Any derm will tell you that you need six at least.
Hang in there.

Huh, the Rogaine box said if I don't see any progress in 3 to immediately stop, but I guess I can give it 3 more.
