I apologize in advance, as I know this is probably a repeat topic, but it takes forever filtering out the useless info on these forums.
My situation:
I have diffuse thinning of the crown area. I am 20 years old, so thinning has only been occuring for the past couple years. I started using minoxidil 2% about a year and a half ago, but stopped using when I started on Finasteride (mistake). I have now been on Finasteride for about 5 months now. About 2 months ago, I started with the minoxidil 5% liquid. I'm pretty sure I've noticed my hairloss stop (or decrease significantly) as a result of the Finasteride. I have yet to notice any regrowth.
I still have a month's worth of liquid left. I went to order some more off HairLossTalk.com today but they only sell the foam now. I have no problem switching to it, I just have a few questions:
1) Does it really make that much of a difference compared to the liquid? (85% as compared to 55%)
2) Is there any kind of turnover period? Will it take another 4 months (roughly) to start regrowing, or will it continue where the liquid left off? Also, will shedding occur at the time of making the switch?
I would appreciate hearing from those of you who have made the swtich from liquid to foam, whether you've had positive results or not. Thank you.
