freddy , at first i thought that the enlarged follical, was keeping the hair from , i beleive the meliane sac, or something like that,,, thus no color,,, now some of my hair has turned darker so realy dont know, what i do know is the now i have salt and pepper has whereas before i had light brown hair,, true i dont regonize my own hair it really looks like shit two years after,,, but let me say this also that my hair on my chest that is turing white still to this day is turning white from the top down which is the damest thing,,, i really dont kanow freddy ,, so of my hair is affected by loosing is color and some is not,,

in some was i beleive that minoxidil works by putting the hair thrugh is life cycle and if that hair is desiganted to turn white than it will turn white,,,,to be honset i really dont know weather the rogaine is matureing my looks or that the hair that has recedded and turned white is making me look older but all i know is that iam looking out as hell,,,,,,,

you had white hair going darker again? That´s the only positive thing I read here. You´re saying you´ve seen hair turning white and then turning dark again?! I hope you´re right. I was thinking about pubic hair, armpithair, chesthair and all the hair that you can shave off. If we can´t save that hair it´s not as big deal as the eyebrows!!! I can shave off the rest really.. That´s why I ask you Tom. Do you have you melaninproduction workin well there?! My eyebwrows are still dark but I see some losing color in the far out left and right. I also have a completely different structure on my brows they are much thinner that is actually not a problem for me since I had just like John extremely thick ones before. However the eyebrow hair is the hair I don´t wanna see go white.then we can really talk about prematuring ending up like an old guy in our thirties. As I said my eyebrows are still dark but thinner and yes some in the outer area losing color but still not looking strange to other people I think. What about you Tom are your eyebwrows still looking normal? Sometimes I can see eyebrows just hanging dingeling like they are about to fall off any second and I can just touch them and they fall off.The end of these have a lack of melanin. But I have to say that this was much more happening in the early months and not so often anymore. In an our I´m heading downtown to see my doc and hear what my bloodtests showed. Bye

did the bloodwork..I´m fine. My doc looked at my balls and said, very strange that hair usually have the same color all the way through life. I must agree with you Tom it´s like the genes are hurt and now our hair mature faster than the rest of the body making us look older than we should be really

l google this on line it say rogaine works on central area,and not frontal areas.

its aso said rogaine does not work on everyone and also depends on the type of hair loss

freddy check your e mail i emai you,, but no my hair is still contiually tuning white

Is it plausible that Topical minoxidil affects pituitary

Is minox really local. I went from a norwood 3 to having the perfectly square hairline of my youth, but I had a reaction mimicking symptoms of pseudoacromegaly so I stopped. So I'm wondering if along with it's vasodilating properties minox also works systemically causing the pituitary to send signals to the liver to push out more gh as in many acromegaly cases.

If so I think perhaps those of you who have seen lasting effects from just a couple of doses may help the entire thinning community if we could learn what's happening chemically on your receptors. Maybe start different avenues of research. Anyone have any thoughts.

I've had a full head of hair all my life. I saw a little thinning on my crown so I started using Rogaine. I'm in very good physical condition by running 4-5 miles a day six days a week. I used Rogaine Foam and developed an itchy scalp, sever flakiness, blisters and eventually sudden extreme hair loss. Living in NY I was able to see top Dr's including a scalp specialist (at $850 a visit) plus every kind of exotic blood test. Result is I lost 99% of my hair on my head, eye lashes, eye brows and lost hair all over my entire body including pubic hair. My Dr's concur it's because of a severe allergic reaction which caused alopecia. I have contacted McNiel Labs and they have been of no help other than giving me a case number. I CAUTION ANYONE WHO IS ABOUT TO TRY THIS PRODUCT!!! I have resorted to shaving my head - Dr's say it may take years for my hair to grow back - if at all.

I WANTED TO UPDATE YOU GUYS ON MY CONDITION.

If you know me, you know that my experience with Rogaine was awful. I'm a guy with thick eyebrows. I applied Rogaine to my eyebrow area because I over-plucked my eyebrows. A single treatment with Rogaine caused me to experience severe dizziness and heart palpitations. I quickly washed off the Rogaine and didn't use it again. Over the next few days, the hair from my eyebrows and the rest of my body began shedding like crazy. If I ran my hand over my arms or legs or scalp, tons of hair came off. It was a very scary experience. After a few weeks, some hairs began growing back, but those hairs grew in crazy directions, and soon fell out again. Rogaine completely screwed up my body's natural hair cycle. So much hair was falling out, I was worried I was going to lose my eyebrows or go bald. I am posting here today to tell you guys that it took 1 YEAR AND 3 MONTHS for me to fully recover. After 1 year and 3 months, I finally stopped shedding and my hair returned to its original condition. I can't believe it took me that long to recover from my terrible reaction to Rogaine. Now I'm just glad to be back to normal. I hope the rest of you are doing well, and I urge everyone to stay away from Rogaine. People who are suffering from genetic baldness should go to their doctor and get a prescription for Propecia.
