Kidney dialysis caused my mom's hair to thin. Rogaine helped her quite a bit. Thanks a bunch to the folks at Rogaine!!!

Just got off the phone with Rogaine and they said before they came out with their product they only tested and did studies on the vertex or crown area of the scalp. This is why they put on their box that it is not recommended for frontal thinning. Not sure why, after all of these years they have not tested their product on frontal thinning, though. They also will not tell customers to try it. It's like the company wants nothing to do with the frontal thinning issue, which seems to be more common than the crown thinning.

Hi Dr Bernstein, I am 23 years old and have been on propecia for about a year and a half. I am taking it for receding hairline at the temples. after examining my temples and comparing to photos from before i began im finding it hard to see if it is working. One thing i have noticed is less hair fall out when shampooing and sitting at my desk. My receding temples seem to be especially prominent on my right side. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you
