Can I Apply Rogaine to the Vellus Hairs at My Hairline’s Corners? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Dear doctors at Balding Blog,
once again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your great work. It is really really much appreciated from everyone out here. I have a question which I have not seen answered, so I hope you can help me out.

  1. I believe I am a guy with naturally high Testosterone levels. I have a very high sex drive, and I believe this is causing my excessive testosterone to be converted into DHT. Do you think that is logical? How do I reduce my sex drive?
  2. I have been on Propecia for 10 months. How long do you think I should wait to see results? My hair has been slowly thinning, and now I can’t even comb it properly.
  3. I have a receeding hairline, especially at the corners. However I can see tiny vellus hairs at the corners. Should I start applying Rogaine in that particular area?

Thank you very much for your time. I wish you and your team all the best always

  1. I do not suggest that you try to reduce your sex drive, but if you think that your testosterone level is too high, get it tested.
  2. The results of Propecia take at least 8-12 months to see benefits, but that benefit may just be reduced hair loss, not hair growth.
  3. You can apply Rogaine to the corners, but you will have to wait at least 8 months to determine if it works.

Thank you for your well wishing. I hope I helped.
