Kakarot Update, I need advice!!!!!!!!
Ok heres an update on me. I have been using Revivogen for the last month and a half. I have used Xandrox15 since mid december of last year. I am still losing hair.....and now I think I got inflammation. Yea, I will admit, the revivogen is working, making my hair thicker and what not. I like it, but the xandrox15 is scaring me. I experiment using just Revivogen one night alone and then using xandrox15 one night alone then using BOTH items together. I notice, when I just use revivogen I dont have that much hair loss, and I notice when I add in the xandrox15 alone or with revivogen, I am still losing hair........ahhhhhhh! This sucks cause im 21 and seriously Im getting closer to the Newton scale of III. I am at II and my hairline and vertex and crown area are thinning. Its not stopping. I got a prescription for PROSCAR in my wallet. I have not gone to get it yet cause Im still given the current treatments I have now some hope. I know if I start proscar I wont be able to stop it for awhile so I am scared to even start. Im 21 I am young and me losing hair freaks me out so bad. Sure, Im not depressed about it anymore but I am anxious to save my hair or regrow it at least. This is unusuall for me cause Im losing hair fast and Im so young it freaks me out it makes me think I have cancer or some disease. I am healthy and have gotten checked out alot in the last year but I dunno anymore. Im gonna go purchuse Inflammil stuff right now. I cant let this inflammation take away anymore of my hair. ANd the weird thing is, You would think that when you lose hair, that a hair falls out, and regrows shorter and thinner. Well, when my hair falls out, it just plan out falls out and dont regrow. And I can feel my head be itchy at times, NOT ALL THE TIME, but here and there. ANd I get small bumps, a few, like 1 or 2 in certain areas. I dunno if its from the grease or inflammation but I aint risking to find out. Better safe then sorry in my mind. I hate this, I really do, I had hope but now Im starting to lose it. A few questions. Since I am taking xandrox15 should I get a 5% minox treatment to help supplement it? Im not sure if using xandrox15 alone is bad or not. Id like to know. And revivogen, no questions, I like it alot. Whats better to use, T gel or that Nizoral stuff? Cause I got both....they both have different results too. And what kind of vitamins or herbal pills should I purchuse and look out for? I just got multivitamins which I should start taking again. I will admit, I neglect to take my vitmamins like a child. I do however using my other topicals everyday. So please someone help me with some advice. I could use it. thanks....

Kakarot,
I totally feel for you man. Inflammation of the scalp is definitely a downer when it comes to trying to treat your hair loss. I suggest you try actually REDUCING the amount of your topicals that you apply.
Your treatments are great, but definitely you should get the inflammation under control, and sometimes using less product helps.
It's my opinion that given the hair loss scenario you've described, if you have MPB, then you should start using an internal like Propecia and stick to it. It's the only thing I'm using right now because my own REALLY REALLY sensitive and inflammation-prone scalp.
The situation you described with regards to your hair not growing back after it falls out is not so far-fetched. Researchers are speculating that the miniaturization process can actually be very fast potentially. (See the following article: http://www.morphollica.com/research/mal ... opecia.pdf ).
I also suggest getting on the healthiest diet possible and reduce your intake of sugars and simple carbs. This is MUCH harder said than done as I have a hard time with it, but there may be a link between excessive sugar intake and increased hair loss. So better safe than sorry.
And of course try to keep your hair short. It looks better on a thinning person than longer hair.
Hang in there man!
