Is Minoxidil Accelerating My Hair Loss?

[chris alldridge]

About 2 weeks ago I began applying 5% minoxidil to my scalp twice daily (rogaine). At first there was no change, but over the last couple of days I have noticed significant hair loss in the applied regions. I considered that it might just be natural hair loss, but what has been a very slow recession over the last 1.5 years has suddenly turned very rapid. In fact, i'd say there's been almost half as much hairline recession/thinning over the last couple of days! It's really worrying me, I want to carry on with the treatment but surely this much recession cannot be normal? What advice would you give, stick with it or throw it in the trash?

Thanks!

It's your first shed. And a good sign that it's working. Hang in there for at least 6 months.
Also, do some research on Minoxidil, sounds like you're not sure what you're getting into.
