Hello, I am a 22 year old female and I really hope someone can help me with these issues, I have recently started to experience hair loss and shedding and my doctor said I should use 5% rogaine for men, I hear it gives facial hair also, I am worried and do not want that, I am hoping someone that has used it or know someone that has used it can tell me their story and offer any suggestions please.

I am also curious if any women have thyroid problems or anemia, please give me details

please help, thanks

once you use rogaine you can never stop, it should be a last resort only.

what happens if you stop using it, what are the side effects while using it and after using it

I have Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia its and blood disorder that makes you very anemic and I have been on Prednisone since Nov 1st when I was dx ...I lost hair at the beginning of taking the medication...I have tapered back on the meds that hair loss is not as bad but I now have ...what I would call sprouts, on the part (either side or in the middle) it looks like I am sprouting hair! It sticks straight up and its really weird looking! I am assuming its new hair growth like I have all of my like but it never has stuck straight up until I started take this medication...yet I have grown a ton of facial hair which is not attractive at all being a 34 year old female...I know that’s from the meds also...figure that out! If any one has had the same experience let me know.
