Thanks!

I just gotta ask you one thing bcoz I live in India too - did you have to get a prescription for finax or did you just go to the Pharmacy and buy it there?

Actually, I don't wear a turban or anything like that, so I don't think it can be friction related alopecia. I have noticed a LOT of hair falling out everyday for the past few months, also the individual hair strands are becoming thinner over the past few months. I'll talk to a dermatologist about it...Thanks a lot for replying though! And is minoxidil (Rogaine) better or is Finasteride (Propecia)Finasteride is cheaper here and seems hassle-free(a tablet a day) instead of applying 1ml Minoxidil solution with a dropper on the scalp, but the possible side effects of Finasteride freak me out!!! PS: We have lotsa generic finasteride brands here: Finax, Finpecia, Finscar, etc. etc. all for about $3 a month. 5% Minoxidil is about $7 a month. Makes me happy about indian drug laws!

I'm 20 and have noticed lots of hair fall and thinning of my hair over the past few months - Is this typical of Male Pattern Baldness? and if it is, I've done some research and learned that Finasteride 1 mg(Which is very cheap because I live in India) can stop hair loss. Did Propecia/a generic variant help with your hair loss?? any side effects? and do you have to get a prescription for this? who do you have to go to get a prescription?
