Hello, im new here and i was looking for some advice on what to do. Im a 21 year old male who started loosing hair in the temples a couple of years back but 8 months ago i started to notice it. (pulling out 5 - 6 hairs now and then) not really that much. I got really upset because all males in my family have full hairdue even pushing 80. I dont loose anything in the crown area, only i front. So after visiting this page i purchased minoxidil (liquid) so i would maintain what i had. Now after 1 month i suddenly loose LOTS of hair from the area i use minoxidil on 100 hairs a day going on 1 week now. but nothing elsewhere. (lol, and i also notice bodyhairgrowing rapidly) Should i stop?
Stop or continue?

I have started to notice more bodyhair growing darker and longer some places along the arm, chest, etc and it seems to be "messed up". Some places i have noticed a couple of times one single black hair growing out and this has never happened before. I use the 5% if anyone wonder and does it go away again if i stop taking it or should i risk ending up as a wherewolf?

You growing hair in those places is normal, it's dht causing it to grow at your age.

i noticed a increase in body hair at first but it soon leveled off............and yes losing more hair after starting rogaine is normal,itll come back,no worries 
I get a couple of side effects like swollen earlobes and around the eyes so i cut down on the twice a day application to only once. The itching is starting to fade off now and i notice my temples filling in with small black hairs and and more lighter hair ( hairline moving forward?)but at the same time im still shedding hair in the middle (but only in the 24 hours after application of minoxidil).
