Rogaine

My dermatologist suggested that I use Rogaine. He said to use the generic over-the-counter Minoxidil Topical. This is not a cure for Alopecia, but a stimulant for hair growth.

I used the box treatment and found this treatment ineffective for me. When applied to the scalp, there is an initial tingling and the head massage offers unique pampering. The main reason my doctor suggested the treatment to increase the blood flow to the scalp which is known to help re-growth. However Minoxidil (Rogaine) treatments could get pricey over the span of 3 or 4 years of baldness. I have chose "rubbing therapy" on my own. My personal theory is that during these early stages of hair loss the Minoxidil (Rogaine) style treatment does not help. Maybe when the hair on my legs or arms starts to grow back, I will begin another round of Minoxidil (Rogaine) treatments on my scalp.
