Hello, This is my first post. I am a 30 yr old and over the past year I have noticed the beginning of hair loss. My hairline has begun to receed and I have also more recently begun to experience thinning all over. Again this is the beginning stages, but I can definitely notice it. I recently saw two doctors (a specialty hair loss doc and my pcp). Both said that to get the best results I should consider taking Propecia and using Rogaine Foam, and both agreed that using both of these products would give me the best chance of stopping the pattern and possibly regrowing some hair. I began taking the Propecia a week ago and am excited, although I know that it takes around 6 months for anything to happen. I have not started using the Rogaine yet because I have read stories that in some cases it actually thins your hair and makes it worse. I asked my pcp about this, and he said that he was not familiar with that scenario and had not heard of any cases personally before. I wanted to see if anyone out there had any comments on Rogaine and if they had any advice as to whether or not I should start using it. I don't mind putting in the effort, but wanted to assess the risk of possibly making my situation worse. Also, the package says that it is for use in the back of the head, but I was wondering if you can use it in the front near the hairline as well? Thanks in advance for any information that anyone has to offer.
