Hey guys, I've been on Propecia for 2 months and Minoxidol (on crown) for 3 months and Niz 1% and Revita for 2 months and my scalp has been really itchy lately. I wear a hat everyday. What do you think is causing this? Could the Propecia be causing this or just regular dandruff issues? Thanks.

Bill, Is it better to use Niz 1% everyday or use Niz 2% 2-3 days p/ week? Does the 1% offer any benefits? Thanks.

My regimen: Propecia- 1mg everyday Rogaine-5% Foam twice everyday on crown/hairline Biotin 1000mg - Everyday, good for hair health Vitamin 400 i.u. - Everyday Revita - Almost everyday, but way too expensive Nizoral 1% - Dont know where to find the 2% Iam keeping my fingers crossed as i have been on this regimen for 5 weeks. I am in a major, major shed right now that started right after I started Propecia, which is prollly a good thing as this may indicate the meds are working!!!

And I've seen some stabilization with my hair loss. Is it normal to see results this quickly. They arent great or shocking results, but I have noticed a little less shedding and slightly better thickness. I am also taking Vitamin E 400 IU and Biotin everyday as I read that can improve overall health of hair. Thanks

Thanks for the responses, but I was asking in Rogaine can "maintain" hair in the frontal region. I have had some loss in the front and was trying to find out if Rogaine can help keep the hair I already have in the front. can it keep those hair follicles healthy?

Can Rogaine help maintain hair in the frontal regions? Can it help keep keep those hair follicles healthy? I put it on my crown where there is a little bit of thinning, but also put it along my hair line to try and keep those follicles healthy. Thanks.

Hey, I have another question... When I apply Rogaine in the morning, do I need to wash my hair before I re-apply in the evening? I typically put it on at 10:00 am and pm. What is the ideal routine for applying Rogaine? I put it on after I shower at night, but should I shower again before I reapply. My hair feels kinda nappy when I have two applications on there at one time. But, I hate washing my hair so much because I shed so much when I wash... Also, I've been noticing a lot of dandruff, is this a possible side effect

Thanks for the reply. Where can I buy those shampoos? Have they worked well for you? Thanks

Hi guys. I am so glad I found this forum, listening to all you guys has been a real help. I was wondering if I can get some advice. Here is the thing, I started noticing my hair loss about 4 months ago and it totally shocked me. I do not really have a family history of hair loss. My mom's family all have their hair and my dad's family all have their hair except for one unlce (out of 10 total children). It started with a thinning in the front to the point I couldnt spike my hair up anymore, and now i've noticed the crown getting worse. I had incredibly thick hair my whole life, so it isnt really noticible yet,(no noticible bald parts) but I am so worried about it becasue it is getting really thin. I am not a very attractive man to begin with, but I have been dating this incredibly beautiful girl for four months and I am so worried about what she'll think. I cannot sleep at night when I think about what I'll look like w/o hair. So guys (and gals i guess) what do you recommend for me. I went to the doctor and got Propecia and have been using Rogaine (even though it itches my scalp like a SOB). C 1.) Can I take more than one Propecia a day? 2.) Can Rogaine help me keep (not regrow) some hair in the frontal area? 3.) What shampoo should I use? (and how often) 4.) Do B-12 vitamins help 5.) Anything else to help thicken/strengthen hair? 6.)Any other meds I can take? 7.)Does wearing a hat hurt my hair? Nobody in my family has lost hair this early and It has bothered my so much.It hasnt got too bad yet, but it will and I want to be proactive. Thanks for ANY help you can afford.
