Hi guys,
I would like to let you know that you guys are doing a awesome job. I have been reading through this forum about 3 months and learn a lot. Here are my questions/requests
1. Who is the recommended doctor in Bay area, CA. I went to Dr. Tom Rosanelli, M.D three months ago and he strongly suggested Propecia and Rogain first and after one year hair transplant. He said my donor area is 2 inches which is not that great.
2. I would like to know if that is the best strategy for my situation. Please find attached photograph of my hair loss. Crown is the most painful areas for right now.
3. I understand control on hair loss is longer process. Is there any thing mean while that I can put on my crown area. I tried spray but those are very messy to use. They are ok to use once in while but not for daily use.
4. If I have to start Propecia and Rogain. I would like to start Proscar 5ml which I will split in 4x1.25 and use it 6 days a week. Does 6 days enough or has to be 7 days a week. This way I can save money and intake is less too.
5. does proscar has more side effects then Propecia?
6. Walgreens has Generic Proscar 5ml for $79.99 and original formula for $220. which one you guys recommend and why?
7. I am planning to start Rogain after 3 to 6 months to see the results by Proscar first. Is that right thing to do? This is again to avoid more medicine.

Thanks and Peace

Don't make things hard on yourself. Use Propecia as directed, and use Rogaine as directed. Optionally, you can also use Nizoral 2% every third day, and Nioxin Cleanser and Scalp Therapy as your shampoo and conditioner.
