Avatar m tn Taking Viagra clearly works, try a small amount (cut up a 100 mg in 4 or 8 roughly equal pieces) and see how it works for you. I used Proscar (Propecia) years ago and definitely felt it killed my libido. It does dramatically lower DHT, a sex hormone *supposedly* only needed during your growing years - but nobody has ever explained how a crucial sex hormone just suddenly becomes unimportant when you turn 18. Try generic minoxidil to keep your hair instead.

Avatar n tn Would putting on minoxidil right now be detrimental to the skin healing process and I would be more likely to scar? Can I use to both minoxidil and retin-a on my eyebrow to negate the collagen reduction from minoxidil?
