Definitely see a good result for two months despite the horrific shedding that occurred. I am most likely going to bite the bullet and start with .25mg of brand name Propecia daily too...just because my temporals and hair line definitely look like they could start receding rapidly and my dad and both grandfathers are slick bald. I just do not think it is worth it to wait.

I thought maybe it could have been the diet drugs and hypothyroidism that pushed me over to thinning so much but for a while I just felt like my hair was not as thick as it used to be. After getting a hair cut that is when I saw the severe thinning.

First 3 are two months ago roughly, last two are recent.

Routine:
Rogaine once or twice per day
Derma rolled 3 times 1.5mm
Head massage 2-3 times/week (vigorous)
Turmeric+Resveratrol+D Limonene once daily
Couple of other supplements here and there
2grains of Naturethroid

Hey retinoid In another post didn’t you say Rogaine was causing your scalp problems so you had to switch to lipogaine?

Yes, the Rogaine liquid was terrible. I then moved to Rogaine foam which was okay but it was messy since I have a lot of hair still and it caused a tingly sensation all the time. I have been using Lipogaine sensitive (no PG) for about 3 months (maybe 4?) now and really like it.

The last pic is when wet and short hair. These were all recent.

Looks good compared to your first crown pics.

So it took you about 4 months to get those results and you rubbed it in when you applied it right. When I was using minoxidil I never rubbed it in and in the beginning applied like 4 ml while using nizoral. I have a feeling I way over did it and should have took baby steps. Anyway does rubbing in minoxidil make a difference as far as scalp irritation is concerned?
