Forums Say Minoxidil Does Nothing for Frontal Hair Loss – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I have read on many forums that Minoxidil only works effectively for the back region of the head and does nothing for frontal hair loss. Is that entirely true? As my hair is shedding around the sides and front but still thankfully have a ‘full head of hair’.

Much obliged

I have seen minoxidil grow hair on the hand of a man that used his right hand to apply the medication, so I would expect that it could grow some hair in the frontal area. In other words, it can potentially grow hair basically anywhere it is applied. The reports through FDA studies only show crown results, but that does not mean it would not (absolutely) work in the frontal area in some men to some degree.
