Regular Member NeedSomeHelpBro Posted May 24, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 24, 2015 So I recently got back on Rogaine for a couple of months now. In this process I also got back into getting myself in shape as I was no doubt out of it. I always thought "wow I'm really getting into shape now" as my body was losing fat all over. But I thought my face was always the part of me that needed more work. I thought the more I get in shape the easier this will be to see my cheekbones really pop like they used to. I feel like I'm very close to my goals but yet my jaw isn't as sharp and defined. Then, like any other thing I come to find out a side effect of Rogaine can cause puffy face / face swelling. This is where I thought the apocalypse was coming because then I started to get paranoid as hell thinking is Rogaine making my face swell? As if my hair problem isn't enough I have been on Rogaine for years I can't stop now, I'll lose my hair I've gained. I heard stopping Rogaine fixes it so I have been off it for about 3 days. I'm scared my hairs gonna start to go. So I don't know how much of this could be Rogaine and how much of this could be my weight / paranoia. I'm gonna keep losing weight but I also don't know if that's worth helping my hair fall out faster? What do I do?! is it Rogaine or all in my head? If NEEDED, I can post pictures but I posted this to see your guys experiences and if anyone has dealt with this like I have, would really appreciate it.

Senior Member Spanker Posted May 25, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think it could be in your head. I would say if you are super low body fat and your face is puffy it could be rogaine, but if you still have weight to lose, I'd stay on Rogaine.

Senior Member ontop Posted June 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hmmm kinda common this puffy face I've read. How much rogain/ Min you use? Maybe knock some back & just use say 3 times a wk they say the experts that just once day is fine as it last for upto 22hrs. Have a go at just using it 3 maybe 4 times a wk that may help some or even switch brand such as kirkland foam / lipogain.. Otherthan that I don't know what to say bro. Your on Fin also right?
