Hey everyone. Nizoral hasnt been working too well for me and Propecia has some scary sides, so I was thinking of trying Rogaine.
Ive heard its possible to shed when starting out but that scares me alot. Some questions:
- I've been told you are less likely to shed using 2% vs 5%. Would it be possible to start on 2%, get past the shedding phase, and then switch to 5%, thereby bypassing the shedding?
- is it possible to try it on a small patch on skin (even small part of head) to see the spot effects, before commiting to it completely? The point of this would be to assess how bad the shedding would be using spot application. Or, is it inevitible that Rogaine will end up affecting the entire scalp?
