Regular Member Jayson290 Posted February 12, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2013 hey guys i originally posted here on Dec 12 2012 asking you guys about rogaine. i said i couldnt use propecia because i have a small amount of hereditary gynecomastia and i was afraid propecia would make it bad. but anyways i started using rogaine liquid on dec 12 2012. at first i started shedding for like the first 2 weeks but i noticed other hairs growing quickly. its been 2 months and in my opinion the results are amazing. i know its supposedly too soon but i swear my hair is extremely darker and you cant see my scalp any more under really bright light. i do now have small hairs growing on my face which is weird lol and hands. and the first day one of my fingers felt a little swollen but it quickly went away. besides that no other side effects. here are the before and after pics so far. ill post more in 4 months. my hair is shorter now then when i took the before pics. i also posted pics of the hair on my face i was talking about. the first pic where my hair is short is late november then two other pics are the ones that i originally post here 2 months ago. then my hair long last month. and i finally cut it 2 days ago. and also a close up of my face so u can see where im growing hairs which is wierd and never was there but its ok its a good trade off.

Senior Member greatjob Posted February 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2013 Holy crap!! That may be the best results Ive ever seen on minox alone!! Do you wash off your hands after application or let it drip on you face where you are seeing the facial hair grow? If not I would be more careful with the application and you may be able to eliminate the unwanted results. I got some pretty good results from it on my temple points but nothing like you.

Regular Member Jayson290 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thank god dude I was so worried that minoxidil wouldnt work no i don't let it drop to my face. I think maybe my body is sensitive to it. Because it made my finger swollen the first day and I know it must of Been the minoxidil cause that finger crap has never happened in my life and maybe it's just me but I feel like my arm and hand hairs have grown somewhat as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted March 6, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2013 Jayson, Looks like your body is very receptive to the treatment! Congratulations on the regrowth. If you continue experiencing the swelling or unwanted hair growth, I recommend following up on these side effects with a trusted primary care physician or dermatologist.

Shubh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi All, I used to have decent results from Minox till 2009, but not since then... Will it help to change the brand or switch to something like Rogaine or Equate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
