Rogaine/Regaine not effective (For me anyway)

[BallsDeep]

I was told off before on this site for not giving regaine extra strength time when I used it on my receding hairline. A year later I went back on it as the crown started to thin.

You can see on my photo blog how the bald patch has not stopped getting worse since I began 7 weeks ago. The rest of the hair is also thinning at a massive rate. And this is far longer than the 2 weeks suggested by J&J.

Are you on anything else, such as a Anti-Androgen like finasteride or topical version such as RU?

 

[BallsDeep]

No I am bit scared to try finasteride due to the sides. I don't want a B-Cup and don't want to be swinging a garden hose when I'm with the fairer sex. What's RU?

How do you know that will happen if you don't try it?

RU58841 is a topical anti-androgen which many people use to stop their hair loss, it is expensive though and has not been approved but people seem to respond to it.

You can read more about it here.

Keep in mind, minoxidil works best when you are using a anti-androgen such as finasteride, dutasteride, or RU. They even state on here if you are not using that, it is an uphill battle.

Yeah might have to give into finasteride when the next paycheck comes in.

Regaine is sh&t.
