Jackdc100 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Has anyone here used Rogaine with success in treating frontal baldness? My doctor recommended using it on the front of my scalp and it seems to have made my hair receed even more on the strip I usually put it on. Any medical info or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Jack, Despite what some may tell you, I do believe Propecia and Rogaine might have marginal benefit in the frontal scalp region. These treatments work much better in thinning areas and aren't proven to grow hair in completely bald areas - only hair transplant surgery is. However, if you are working to prevent further hairline recession, your best bet is to try Propecia and Rogaine. Be sure to research how these medications work and become familiar with their potential side effects before using the medication. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
