Hair loss thinning since mid 2015. 1punch biopsy on right temple showed "possible early FPHL". Told transplant not option with my sometimes heavy diffuse shedding. Is PRP, progesterone injections in the scalp, or anything likely to help? Any possibility of regrowth and reversal of minituarisation? Or should I start looking for hair pieces??? I have no real good hair expert to see in my area. Been to 3 derms and a trichologist, endo, gyno. Please tell me what real chances of success.

I suggest a formal consultation to determine what is best. There are many options and often the combination is better than individual treatment alone. Best, Dr. Emer.
Minoxidil itself causes skin reaction and results in itching and skin irritation. If this is what you have, switching to the foam for will not help the reaction you are seeing
