long story short my biggest problem area was the widows peak, ive been one propecia for almost a year, and large patches of blondish/almost orangish hairs popped up at the widows peak and at the corners of my hairline. I'm not sure if this was new regrowth or miniaturizing hairs. either way i started rogaine two months ago because my crown started to look really bad. at the time i felt the front was looking ok, but i decided that since my propecia was kinda working, the rogaine would just give it that extra boost. in any case since using 5% minox on my hairline, it has receded an inch on both sides. now there are thick patches of white peach fuzz coming in where the recession occured and a few brown hairs here and there. Problem is, as you can see from the picture, i got flakes, redness, and itchy irritation up the wazoo. i try putting in some cocoa butter with vitamin E sometimes. It seems to help, but it kinda burns when I apply it. I'm at a crossroads here, because it seems like this rogaine might really do its thing, but the flakes are so bad they might take the new hairs with em when they fall off. i know the foam is supposed to be better cuz it doesnt have propylene glycol, but i HATE HATE what that stuff does to your hair. the way it gunks and goops up, it worse than the liquid to me. Any suggestions, advice, or similar experiences would be much appreciated. PS I have been using revita for about 3 weeks as well and I'm not too interested in Nizoral unless it will somehow fortify my scalp against breakage and flakage
