I have a bald spot forming on the top of my head and am thinking of getting Rogaine. I wanted to know how effective is it, are there any side effects, and are there certain people who shouldn't take it? Also, what happens if you exercise? I would hate to have my sweat spread the Rogaine to my neck and back and make me grow hair in unwanted places.

my husband tried it a few years ago..he started with a spot like yours..he didnt use it very long ..it didnt seem to help at all..

I don't mind trying it and discovering that it doesn't work. My big concern is that if I work out, the sweat from my head will spread the Rogaine to my neck and back and make me grow there.

Just let it dry first and you won't have a problem.

PS....It doesn't work.

I tryed it and it dosent work!
I use Propecia for 5 monts now and I see results!

OK, that brings me to my next question. How effective is Propecia? Do you need a prescription?

My husband has been using rogaine for a couple of years now and although we haven't seen new hair on his head the thinning part is under control, the only thing is that he has grown unwanted hair on back and his arms have also gotten more hairy. Good Luck!
