If I stop using Rogaine for 5 days will it harm the advances I've made?

Question

Sorry no photos i started using Rogaine after I had breast implants removed and was just losing so much hair plus maybe stress from our move from Los Angeles to Hamburg Germany caused the hair loss. Please help!

It will not be a problem to stop Rogaine for 5days.  If you stop Rogaine for 2-3 months, you may start to see shedding if it had helped you regrow your hair while you were on it. 
Good luck!

ıf you stop using rogaine for 5 days it will not harm the advances that you have made before .  Gaining with a long term use of minox. will start to disappear after 3-4 months after you stop that medication .

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Your question is not entirely clear but an individual can stop Rogaine for 5 days and then restart it again without major detriment to progress. However, if you are worried about your hair be sure to see a specialist. There are many many causes of hair loss. Stress and surgery can be causes but there are 60-70 other causes too.
