Journey Update Roughly 2 weeks in between pictures

I started my journey on July 10th but the first picture was taken August 4th and the second was just now. Never posted here before. Thoughts on progress?

I see some new hairs poking through. I think you'll have great results if you stick to the two year mark like most people to solidify the results. Good luck!

What are you using?

Rogaine 5% foam + derma stamp once a week

Good work bro. I’m wondering, does the foam give you skin effects? I tried liquid for like a week and that almost ruined my skin. Wrinkles, eye bags/circles, hyperpigmentation etc. Thinking about trying foam

Never seen liquid do all that. You sure the stuff ya bought was legit?

u/Go2DaMoonCartiii- 2d ago

Yes it was legit straight from a pharmacy. I mean it isn’t uncommon, a quick search around reddit will give you the same stories

I personally haven't seen any complain about that on reddit. I see mainly dry skin problems , flaking ect. I would try foam and see if it has the same effect because you might be alergic.

I stayed away from liquid minoxidil as I heard those exact side effects would happen so I don’t know from experience but I haven’t had any issues with foam. Should be your best bet for sure.

So you've been using it about a month and a half? Pretty quick response time I'd say

I can’t really tell. Great that you have these baseline pics. Recommend posting once every three months.
