I've been balding around the crown area since i was 18. Very light at first, now it's very noticeable.
I have Ichthyosis, which already gives me horribly dry skin and scalp. The Rogaine makes ir dry out obviously too.
I went to the dermatologist and asked him if there was anything I can do, he sais i have natural pattern baldness. And he's the one that suggested I use Rogaine. I've been using the foam for about about 7 months now. It's getting bad... really bad. And even though I have hair down to my shoulders, its getting very annoying. Everytime I comb my hair, it is filled with my hair, the sink looks like a cat was strangled in it.
I was just thinking about shaving my head, starting new, and trying to take propecia and still use the rogaine on the shaven scalp.
Any ideas?
