Bill, Guy, thanks for the information. I bought some Rogaine foam, but after reading posts here and at the hairloss board, I'm concerned about the side-effects not listed on the packaging. I read at the hairloss board that facial swelling could occur and that these sheds are terrible and keep repeating themselves. Does anyone have any luck with these products? Facial swelling doesn't necessarily seem like a good trade to me... Guy - I've read that anti-depressants can cause hair loss; I believe I read this in a prozac brochure, but it didn't specify where the loss could occur (not that helpful). I don't know if that's what caused my bald spot, but I haven't noticed hair loss anywhere else. I've been looking for more information about the topic, but I can't seem to find anything. If I do, I will let you know.

This is basically an album of my thinning hair. I'm not really sure what else to write here.

Hi Everyone, This is a great website. I've learned a lot by simply reading your posts. Anyway, I have what you might consider to be a couple of stupid questions. I've looked at the Norwood scale, and I would guess I have a mature hairline (my hairline is about a finger width from the top crease in my brow, etc.). Anyway, I thought I was doing okay, I mean, I will be 32 in two weeks, but lately I have noticed thinning and greying at the corners of my hairline. Recently, somebody pointed out a bald spot, not excessively large, either on my vertex or somewhere near it. I've attached pictures, not great pictures (I'm an accountant and very cheap), but I'm wondering if Rogaine Foam might help, or at least prevent or slow this process down in the vertex and in the corners of my hairline? I guess I have a couple of questions about Rogaine. I have read horror stories about Propecia, and one story told of a man on anti-depressants actually going bald from using the two in combination. If that story is true, and I can't verify that, would rogaine also interact with anti-depressants? I only ask because, well, I take them for obsessive compulsive disorder. Also, I have read on this board, that rogaine foam has made some peoples' hair worse. Is this information true? Again, I apologize if these questions are stupid.
