Toronto, Canada diffuse thinning, where to buy topical solutions?

SmallerBigger · Sep 30, 2015

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to help my diffuse thinning? It started 3 years ago and by my estimation it'll become noticeable in a year. I can now see my scalp and I'm currently not on anything.

I would like to use a topical solution. I've been told on a balding subreddit to buy rogaine foam from wal mart but when I search for it on their website it doesn't show up.

I'm truly lost about where I can buy topical solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in Canada I can't order that here unfortunately. I was talking about Rogaine foam, is minoxidil another name for that? Is finasteride alone a lot better? I only mentioned the topical rogaine foam because someone on a different forum recommended it.

I am also a diffuse thinner and honestly if your 3 years in as a diffuse thinner you may want to consider even getting on Dutasteride but getting a script for it can be challenging...if you are unable to get on dutasteride then get on finasteride...minoxidil is most likely not going to do anything for you on its own because you have a very aggressive hair loss pattern...get on finasteride or dutasteride and also minoxidil...also can you post a couple pictures of your hair?

You're in Toronto? You should be able to find Rogaine at shopper's drug mart. But, it's expensive. The generic Kirkland brand of minoxidil is cheaper and can be found at Costco.

I always buy my minoxidil online. Currently buying from minoxidilmax.com for their high strength formulations.
