    Finners story

    Hello! I have read that even .5 mg of propecia exceeds the anti-baldness requirements; I don't recall many people going to 1 mg.

    im 19 and i have questions

    The most probable is you have genetic alopecia, but right now you have almost 100% of the hair. So in the next 2 or 3 years you can measure your hair lose progression and make then a decision. I don't agree young people starting treatments when they don't really need them, but anyone...

    Receding hairline, need some advice

    Hello I'm new here but have some time in a Spanish forum. I think you have genetic alopecia. The most probable is that your hairline will continue backwards, but its progression is uncertain. Don't apply minoxidil by yourself, you may have to wait some years to do that. Go to the dermatologist's...
