propecia help ASAP

[vander]

I am new to the forums and have a question.

 

My dermatologist prescribed me to take propecia because I have a bit thinning in the crown and the mid of the scalp along with a receding hairline. My hair is still very thick and the thinning and receding is not noticible at all. My derm gave me propecia ad he said take it if you want to prevent future further loss.

 

I just want to know since propecis is known to work for the crown and mid scalp, and it doesnt help for receding hairlines and temple thinning, can propecia cause more thinnig and make the hairline and temple of a person even worse. I am saying this because since propecia will increase testosterone a bit, and then the testosterone kills a persons hairline and temples.

 

So whats the point in taking propecia if it only helps the crown when you will in fact be bald on the front?

Vander,

 

Though a temporary hair shedding can occur during the first few months of use, hair loss is not a reported side effect of Propecia.

 

It's actually not true that Propecia can't help prevent future hair loss at the hairline and temples. The reason it can't be advertised that way is because the clinical tests only reported the crown.

 

But many hair loss sufferers have used Propecia successfully for frontal hair loss as well.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

thank you for your answer

 

So propecia cannot make my hairline worse than it is now?

 

right now it is not noticinle so by taking th edrug it wont make it worse. It has been receding for the past couple of years but slow, so procia wont enhance the receding?

 

Thank you

sorry another question I have. since some people report shedding, cant that be bad?

 

I mean I do have a bit thinning in the crown, but my hairloss is not noticible like mentioned.

 

So lets say i do take propecia what if it makes my hair worse or speeds up the hairloss problem, rather i had not taken the pill and the hairliss would of been in a very slow pace?

 

Im just scared that propecia might make my hair even worse instead of better. I have read through numerous forums that people claim it made there hair worse than before starting the treament. and that it kills hairliness due to the testosterone
