Any ideas on why there would be itching or irritation in the "area of concern" on my temple? Thanks!

Thank you very much for your responses. I can still style my hair in a manner that "covers" the mature hairline, and it's not so much what it looks like now that bothers me but where it could go if left untreated. I have experienced itchiness in that spot, but I don't know if it's me paying...

I am curious what you guys think about my hair loss. I am 24 years old and have had a NW2 V-shaped hairline since I was 18. My hairline has slowly faded as time has gone on, receding inwards in the temple area. I have not taken Propecia or Dutasteride, or used Rogaine, mainly for fear of...

Yeah, my concern is that I am only a temple receder, with no visible signs of thinning on the vertex or crown. So hearing about people's hair getting worse during the first year of taking Propecia makes me very, very wary of using it. I definitely do not want my crown and vertex to thin...

Anybody have any opinions? Thanks!

I have never heard of someone shedding that quickly. I believe the most common time to shed is Month 3 or so.

A couple quick questions, guys, if you don't mind: 1. If I am only a receder, and not thinning on the vertex and crown, and I start Propecia, will I shed to the point of my hair being cosmetically worse (thinner) on the vertex, crown, and hairline? 2. As I am only a receder, if I only put...

May I ask why you quit?

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

True that, my bad! Thanks.

I am contemplating taking Propecia, having been given a prescription from my derm ("if you should choose to use it" were his words). I have gotten over the fear of side effects, but have one last hangup before I jump on it. How noticeable are the sheds on Propecia? I am a receder, with some...

What side effects did you suffer from?

Are you on Propecia as well? If so, did you experience any shedding and/or side effects? How long have you been on your treatments?

Is the best thing for temple receders to use topicals, if they exhibit full heads of hair on the top and vertex? Propecia would seem like a large step for someone who isn't exhibiting diffuse thinning? I'm trying to find a solution for my situation, and taking Propecia and affecting all of...

Yeah, man. I know how you feel. I don't like my hairline either, but in the grand scheme, I have a great girlfriend, a great family, and people get along with me. Based on your posts on here in threads I've read, I would bet a chunk of change you are a nice guy that people get along with...
