Just joined and having trouble searching the archives. So, I'd like to ask
a simple question about Minoxidil.
I'm 48 with thick curly hair. Started noticing some vewry slight forhead thinning about 10 years ago but no shedding. Now I see some more receeding on the forehead and slightly at the temples. My vertex and crown are fine. I have virtually no sheeding at all right now: in fact I rarely notice any hairs on the pillow or in the tub drain. Nonetheless, my dermatologist says I'm an early Norwood 2 and precribed Proscar. I've just started using Nizoral every other day and take arginine and ginkgo daily.
The question is whether to add 5% minoxidil right now or wait and see if the Prosar / Nizoral works for 6 months. Since I'm a bit older than some of the other posters, my potential to stabilize or regrow hair may be somewhat different.
I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Thanks
