Does Propecia grow hair back on top or at the temples? Also if i start taking it, will I need to continue taking it forever?

Hi, i've been reading this forum for a while now and I think it's great how all of you are sharing all of your views. I just thought i'd share my problem too...im from the UK, im only 19 and the hair on the top if my head is extremely thin...the hair has recessed a little at the temples area..the sides have also thinned a little..I'm just concerned because of ma age and how my hair has jus started to thin and doesn't appear to be growing back...when light shines on my head you can see how thin the hair is on top...i don't know if this is genetic but my father, grandfather, uncles, etc have all lost the hair on top of their head and it's a safe bet that i will probably end up the same eventually...and if it is then i know it wil get worse later on probably when i'm in my twenties.. i know that all of u advise not to get a hair transplant at this age..but i was also planning to do modelling...and because of how thin my hair is it limits me from styling my hair in certain ways...i really just want the density to come back how it was on the top and sides of the head and i also want the recessed hairline to be lowered a little but i dunno what steps i should take..is hair transplant advisable at this age..most of you seem to be against it? i really don't want a scar or want to be scalped...what bout FUE? or Propecia? Is there any regrowth and if you stop taking Propecia will you lose any benefit u gained...? [This message was edited by londonguy on May 27, 2003 at 06:07 PM.]
