I'm thinking I will bring propecia up to my doctor and give that a try. I'm not too crazy about rogaine though, applying a cream twice a day is a bit more of a hassle than taking a pill. From what I've read it seems propecia will stop any further loss while rogaine will regrow hair? It seems like my best choice would be to start on both, possibly grow some hair back then continue on the propecia to maintain my hairline where it is.

I'm 20 and have just started to notice my hairline is starting to recede a bit. I had relatively longer hair when I was younger and never noticed an issue but with my hair cut short I am starting to worry. Right now it is not bad, I let my bangs hang down and it really isn't very noticeable. My concern is that if this continues it will become a problem so I'm hoping I can prevent any further loss. The center of my hair is about the same it has always been but the left and right sides are starting to recede somewhat, I've also noticed there are some small pimples in that area, they are too big for hair to grow out of. I'm planning to visit my doctor and see what he says but what would be my best course of action here? Is Rogaine or Propecia proven to work for receding hairlines? How about shampoos, what works best? Thanks.
