Dr. Rassman,

I’m a 25 year old male that noticed a few months ago that i was starting to thin on the crown of my head. I started using rogaine foam. About a month or so into using the foam I read about Propecia, and vistited my doctor who said that he thinks Propecia would work the best for me. My question is; since I’ve only been using Rogaine for two and a half months, do you think I’d be okay quitting the foam and just using Propecia (which I’ve been on for the last month)? I haven’t noticed any improvements with the rogaine yet(which makes sense to me since the package says it could take many months to start seeing results). I’m just wondering if I can quit the foam without losing hair. I figure I should be okay since I haven’t seen improvements yet.

Thanks so much, doctor. I appreciate your blog very much.

I would hope (though I am not sure) that you did not build minoxidil dependence on the miniaturized hairs. For men of your age, Propecia is a better choice.
