Since you appear to be a good responder to Propecia already, I trust it will continue to benefit you and your precious hair follicles for years to come... The 5% minoxidil solution (including Rogaine foam) isn’t recommended for women with hair loss due to the possibility of unwanted body and facial hair growth. Not all women experience this, however, it’s important... Avodart (dutasteride) is a more potent drug than Propecia (finasteride) and while it's not FDA approved for hair loss, technically, dutasteride prevents even more DHT from being produced. However, most hair loss sufferers are able to prevent further progression of male pattern baldness with Propecia alone... It takes up to 4 to 6 months to see the positive effects of Rogaine (minoxidil). If you’ve just switched back to the more effective 5% minoxidil solution, your hair follicles may still be re-adjusting with another initial hair shedding phase. This is typical upon starting minoxidil hair loss treatment... Itchy scalp is quite common with the liquid solution due to the ingredient propylene glycol. You may want to try switching to Rogaine foam which still contains 5% minoxidil but may eliminate the itch. If that works, it will be a lot better than stopping the use of effective hair loss medication. Additionally T-Gel shampoo often helps with... The two most effective treatments to date are Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil). If you are experiencing side effects with Propecia, in my opinion, you should at least consider minoxidil. Though minoxidil does nothing to block DHT, it's been proven to stimulate the follicles and cause some hair regrowth. Alternatively, you may want to consider... Thyroid problems can sometimes be responsible for telogen effluvium (hair loss characterized by thinning hair typically all over the scalp and sometimes targeting a particular area) as can certain medications... This may very well be seasonal shedding coupled by damaged and dry hair in the winter. If it is, it shouldn't result in a net loss of hair overall. It's just that hair may be thinner during some seasons than others due to more hair follicles being in the telogen (shedding) stage of the normal hair growth cycle. You may want... Bosley hair regrowth formula, Rogaine, and generic minoxidil treatment are all topical solutions containing the same dosage of the active ingredient minoxidil... Since you are a young female suffering from hair loss, I’d strongly suggest first consulting with a dermatologist or trichologist to find the root cause of your hair loss. Though the primary cause of balding is genetic, even in women – there can be many non-genetic contributors and at the very least, it’s important to rule them out. In many cases of non-genetic causes or contributing factors...
