frontal hair baldness ( receding hairline loss)

i was wondering if anything would work for this problem i am having?  

I JUST BOUGHT A BOX OF MINOXIDIL 5% (GENERIC ROGAINE) FROM WALGREENS AND I JUST GOT DONE READING IT AND IT SAYS ITS NOT FOR frontal hair baldness ( receding hairline loss).  

-What will happen if i use it for my frontal hair baldness? ( get more bald)?
-Will this make my hair more thick?
-What can i buy or do to save my hairline?
-Do Rogaine / Scalp Med only work for (back of the head) baldness and not frontal hairline?

Im planning on using MINOXIDIL soon on my hair, i hope it works.  ill start this in a week or so.  

Please Help Before I Become Bald.  

Thanks in advance foe info

Minoxidil is successful for and useful treating balding areas of the back of the scalp and not for a receding hairline as you read.  If successful in the back of the scalp, it requires continued use, or its effects will disappear.

what will happen if i use it on my receding hairline?  Little to no result or will it make my hair fall out?  im willing to use this to just thicken my hair as of right now, my hair is thinning.  Let me know what my options are DOC.  i really want to save my hairline.   im 24yrs old and dont want to be balding out.

I doubt if you will see much effect either pro or con for your receding hairline.  You may see some thickening of your existing hair.

Than, when that answer in mind.  does that mean my hair may get thicker and in the long run, my receding hairline will slow down or stop for a long while.

I am actually going to use:
nizoral and Minoxidil 5% for about 3-4 months.  ill take pics from day one til 90or120 days.   I will info on my result.  thanks for trying to help DOC.

Doc,
I guess what I need to know is will I be harmed in some way if I try using % Minoxidol even though it's not  intended for frontal baldness or receding hairline? I know you already state results may not be good, but will I be harmed in some way? I'm willing to try it out. Thanks Doc.
