Hi everyone. This is my first post here in reddit. I’m 35 yo and have hairloss starting at the age of 20. Hairline receded and lost most of my hair. I wanted to start early but reading about the side effects of Fin, I didn’t start and here I am now.
It will be my first time using Minoxidil and doctor suggested 10% minoxidil. I didn’t knew there’s a 10% min in market. Is it good to start with 10% or should I start with 5% and go 10% after sometime? Has anyone used or using 10% min?
10% min can be effective but might have more side effects than 5%. If your doctor suggested 10%, it’s worth trying, but be mindful of any irritation or side effects. 5% is usually the starting point for most people, but higher concentrations can work well if 5% isn’t enough. Keep an eye on how your scalp reacts.
Thanks, I’m thinking the same. I also read that only upto 5% is FDA approved so a bit afraid to use 10%. I would’ve self prescribed 5% but I’ll go for 10% now.
