Minoxidil on frontal hairline???

[tommboy]

Can minoxidil be used on the front of your hairline and work? I have the minoxidil and azelic acid spray and wondering if I should apply it to my front hairline, or just the crown. A lot of people say it wont help the front just the crown of your head.

They haven't done any studies on the front hairline so thats why it doesn't say it will work on it. Thats always what I've heard, also heard a couple of docs state that. I'm hoping thats the case because I started using minox a month ago and I'm relying heavily on that working.

I see new hairs on my frontal.

it's probably won't work, finisteride will slow down front hairline hairloss and minoxidil might complement that but alone it won't have a noticible effect but all people are different

I think it works to some degree. After all, my understanding is that after a hair transplant the hair plugs are treated with minoxidil. Besides not having studies done on that aspect as one poster mentioned, a lot of the reason for the belief it doesn't work may be that it is very hard to use in that manner with out the solution running down the forehead, into the eyes, on the eyebrows, etc.

Wouldn't get your hopes up! Get spiro and nizoral shampoo.

I got em. Why not have high hopes?

 

[tommboy]

does it work if I only use it once a day (at night) oh yea I am using finasteride

Topical solution (Rogain) only works on top and frontal receding hair line.
Minoxidil pills will work on the whole body.
Proscar (5 mg) is probably the best.

I have 5 percent topical minoxidal solution
