Hair Loss Forums

It might take the hair that you have left and kill the hair roots and make you worse off. I know because it did that to me. You might have success with it though because you're a man. Good luck to you.

And furthermore, I DID NOT just lose a "few hairs" at my temples. If I had just lost "a few hairs", I would not be so upset. I came on here hoping to find some similarities and to let people see both sides of Minoxidil 5%. This happened to ME. And that is all that I've ever said.

Audience, as I explained to Alycone, I did not have any "BEFORE" pictures because I didn't take any due to the fact that I didn't expect the Minoxidil 5% to take away my hair. The only "before" picture was destroyed by the Hair Specialist's office. "Posting evidence"... even if I could afford a ...

Happy Election Day All!!
I have posted this on another section of this website, but thought it had better be posted in the Women's Section as well as I am a woman.

In March of 2004, I thought I was losing hair (and I was, but I think that was due to taking an antibiotic every day for a year). Well ...

Sam,
What you say may be true, but this is regarding women!
It has been prescribed for use safely on MEN! What about women? What do the test results say there, huh? I have researched extensively also. The Minoxidil 5% caused such damage to existing hair that I had and would still have if I hadn't ...

Hi,
Please do NOT use Minoxidil 5%. It appears a certain Dermatologist in Vancouver swears by it and prescribes it indiscriminately. It can harm you and then the same Dermatologist goes out of his way to tamper with your medical file so that he can appear guilt-free and doesn't have to face up to ...

Thanks for your response, Sam

Sam, I did not shed (I only used it for 3 days!). The Minoxidil destroyed hair that I had. If I hadn't used it, I would still have the hair there. The hair is only gone where the Minoxidil was applied. It HAS NOT grown back in almost 2 years. That stuff is Garbage and ...

Thank you Jacob and Blueshard for your replies.

I went back to the specialist (it took 2 weeks before I could see him even on an urgent basis). I was in shock and so upset I didn't eat or sleep and had lost 10 lbs in the 2 weeks before seeing him. A former friend of mine (who I hadn't seen for a ...

Thank you for your reply.
The hair I lost is exactly where the Minoxidil was applied (where most people recede, the temporal areas). I have hair otherwise. That garbage is dangerous and actually removes hair that people actually have. I tell you, I was better off not touching that crap.
DO NOT ...

Happy Holidays All.
Have any of you heard of anything more devastating? In March of 2004, I thought I was losing hair (and I was, but I think that was due to taking an antibiotic every day for a year). Well, I was prescribed Minoxidil 5%. After 3 days of application (2x a day). The hair that I had ...
