I'm at a bit of a crossroads here. I'm a 4a, 5 or 5a balding pattern (thinning up front and I'm starting to get that 'Island of Hair' in the front) and have been using T-Gel & Nizoral 1% shampoo's and 400 i.u. of dry vitamine E for about 2 years. In December I started using Rogain Max strength (after a month and a half from the regular strength use) and I'm only using the Rogain at night (no way I'd be able to do it in the morning). I shed pretty good and in the last month have noticed itching and burning where I'm applying the Rogain (only in the front of my hair).
Things look like they're getting a lot thinner upstairs. Im not sure if this is just a delayed reaction to the Rogain since I'm only using it once a day or if the boys are finally starting to leave for good. I'm not a big fan of going to Proscar but I'll do it if I have to. Guess I'm looking for some advice on whether or not to stay the course with Rogain or go with Proscar. Any help is greatly appreciated.
