Regular Member primomusic Posted February 16, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hey fellas was wondering if it was ok to place minoxidil where there is no hair. Don't know the name of the area, either the temple , or receding line but I attached a photo to see if it was ok before I moved forward. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member E39 Posted February 16, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2017 Unfortunately, where there is no hair it won't help. It's most effective in thinning areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Dude, like many have already recommended, and you yourself wanting to get it but don't know how...In addition to your shampoo of choice and minoxidil (trust me not enough to keep your hair)...The proven and most effective way to retain and possibly grow back {some} of your hair (before your future HT) is by the followings: Find a doctor (or a dermatologist) in your local area. Pay for the visit and a prescription roughly around $60. Go to you local pharmacy and pay roughly around $40 for finasteride for the a year's worth. (A total of about $100 per a year for finasteride. This is totally worth it.) And you are set. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DavidAnderson Posted February 17, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 As others have said regaine won't help in that area. I think your hairline shape is decent you need to try to stop the recession as your hairline is thinning and this should be the area that Regaine can help maintain.

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 17, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2017 The other thing is that if you apply minoxidil too close to the forehead area, you could also cause some unwanted hair growth such as accelerated growth of the eyebrows, etc. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member Hairprincess Posted March 2, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 Using the minoxidil in those areas will not do much for you, but you should look into seeing a Dermatologist and getting on Finasteride 1mg or 5mg (cut into 1/4). Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rashid36 Posted March 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2017 I put minoxidil all over my hair but these area are similar to mine it wont do anything only a transplant to restore the hair line will do. I have noticed a few odd hairs growing on my ear lobes but that could just be with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted March 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have heard of guys getting bushy eyebrows, unwanted hair growth in other areas of the face from using minoxidil too far off the scalp.

Senior Member Speegs Posted March 6, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2017 You need to be careful and deliberate with minoxidil application, there have been case studies of it dripping down the forehead and causing unwanted growth beyond the regions it was wanted...particularly problematic for women who may find a surge of unwanted facial hair.
