Rogaine questions

[ITSGST]

Hi,

I am currently on Propecia 1mg / Roagaine foam 2x a day / Nizoral shampoo every 3 days for 5 months. Thinking about getting off of the Propecia because of the sexual side effects though this combination seems to be working very effectively in hair growth and stopping hair loss.

So, if I got off of the Propecia:

1.) Is Rogaine able to regrow hair in the front and hairline rather than just on the crown as the bottle states?
2.) If it does, do I have to apply on front and hairline?
3.) What is the next best plan of attack in addition to Rogaine / Nizoral? Other drugs?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply CCS.

So, apply the Rogaine foam in trouble spots (hairline, front)?

For the spironolactone cream, which of these or others would your recommend? Are they oily upon application?

1.) I've heard and seen proof it CAN... but... not sure thing it will for you. Hairline is the hardest, the front I've seen. However, if you start on mino, any hair regrown from it all that vellus will be dependent on it to be maintained...
2.) Cant say
3.) Well other that finasteride, you can try "natural" stuff like saw palmetto but results vary and debatable stuff. And sides can be similar to finasteride. Imo anything else other than mino and finasteride just supplement and aid those drugs for hair regrowth. You CAN tho take stuff, vitamins, better diet, for better quality hair. Heh I started that a month ago esp more water didnt realize how dehydrated I was, it made my hair quality better. I noticed it, not to say it didn't look less thin necessarily or thicker hard to describe. Just "healthier".

Anyways hopefully others can answer these questions far better than I.
