Senior Member EmuSteve Posted February 2, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 2, 2007 I've been taking pictures every month for the last 6 months (since Ive been on propecia). I just started taking rogaine again in the last few weeks (since the foam doesnt make my scalp red and itchy). Was just wondering if you guys could tell if there has been any change one way or another. I am really close to setting an appointment for a HT, but I'd really like to feel comfortable that the meds are regrowing a little (or at least stopping the loss). I cant really tell a difference though? url link: http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k88/usfstevec/chart.jpg Thanks for the input! -Steve I don't work for a doctor.

Guest bro66 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 rogaine only worked for me when i first started thinning, it did prevent anymore thinning. i don't think i really grew any hair back, just prevented my hair from falling out. when i stopped using it, the thinning increased, and i went bald, front and crown areas, and thin on the top. i just had my 2 HT two weeks ago, i got a total of 3100 graphs.

Senior Member hairbank Posted February 2, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 2, 2007 Very hard to tell from the pics, Steve, but I'd agree with Spex................it appears to be helping you maintain. IMO, really you need to give it 1 year before passing judgment.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 EmuSteve, I agree with the others...it seems like it's helping you at least maintain what you have. Of course, a 4 month progress chart is not the best to map progress...you probably want to be on it a full year to relaly know if it's working for you. I agree that it's difficult to tell fully from the pics...but especially when looking at the crown shots, I'd say, so far, so good. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted February 3, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2007 Emu, I would agree with all of the advise that you have already been given. Wait approx. 1 year and that is a better indicator. Just don't put too much hope into any miracles. Good luck. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.
