So does minoxidil spread the lovin all over the scalp?

[iseras]

I'm a diffuse thinner, and I really should be applying minoxidil over my entire scalp- however, the irritation, the possible widespread shed, and the terrible way my hair looks when it's on has deterred me. I do, however, apply minoxidil 2x a day on the vertex/crown area, where i have a more perceptible bald spot- it doesn't irritate as much there, and a shed wouldn't make a difference. My question is: will applying minoxidil only at the vertex/crown area also help in the frontal regions all over the scalp, where i'm expereicing a lot of thinning? Would the minoxidil be absorbed by the scalp and prove beneficial for the other area too? Thank you for your help

Suggest you try Dr. Lees non PPG minoxidil and spread over entire scalp. Also, make sure you are using Nizoral shampoo.

i only apply at the crown, and i believe it helped all over since i too had slight diffuse thinning all over (well, it didn't help my crown, yet) the problem is, it didn't just effect the head on my hair, but also my body hair. i'll tell you this, being hairy in the summer is not a good thing.
