Thanks for the replys. I've been using miconazole only on my hairline for a few weeks now. Oviously too early for results, but I'll update in a few more weeks. I've been on the big 3 for 8 years now, with great results. it completely regrew the crown and front after 3 years of use. My hairline improved some over the first 4 years, but not completely. My hair been completley stable for the past 4 years, no loss no gains. So I'm using the mico on my hairline. If there is any improvement over the next few months I will be able to attribute the (additional) gains to the mico. We'll see....
So far I have noticed mild headaches if I use a lot (especially at first). At this point I am using only a small amount and only on the hairline. The $4 tube is going to last several months. Definitely the cheapest of the meds I used.
I know several posters had reported numerous tiny hairs after like 3 weeks. I have not experienced this so far. It's funny because this is what I saw at my hairline after about a month on roagin/finasteride when I first started 8 yeras ago. Those hairs that popped up at my hairline eventually grew to be normal terminal hairs, over a period of 4 years, so I wouldn't dicount that type of growth as being insignificant.
