Asked By:Jubilant322029 in Los Angeles, CA

1. Will be area where I tried Rogaine shed and then produce a thinner shaft of hair. The area where I applied it had healthy hair. Have I destroyed that healthy hair? 2. What's the best way to expel the remaining drug from my scalp and reduce any damage that I have done within the 29 days of use? I have mainly a full head of hair however I tried Rogaine 5% on the front and top of my head which I thought was slightly thin for exactly 29 days then I decided to abruptly stop using it
