Posted under Rogaine q&a

I'm 26 and started noticing hair thinning 2 yrs go. Using Rogaine for last month, and have been seeing extreme shedding.

I hear this is normal, but what is unusual is that it is happening on my sides as well, where I do not apply. Is this weird? I'm thinking this might be because I'm applying too much, since I don't know what 1 mL is. Other things to note are that I started Accutane a little bit earlier, and was also diagnosed with scalp Folliculitis (does not seem to be scarring).
