hi guys, i am 17 years old and im rapidly starting to loose my hair. how ever, its following an unusual patter which i doubt is male pattern baldness, looks more like female pattern baldness.(im a guy)
Anyways i was readign that propecia only works for male pattern baldness so i was wondering if it would work for me. if not what kind of treatment should i start?

here are some pics so u get the idea

Start propecia/finasteride asap. You don't want to wait for your results may not be as good should you wait till it gets worse.

propecia and finasteride? or propecia or finasteride?

Propecia is the commercial name of the drug by merk.

Finasteride is the generic technical name of the drug itself.

So go with either because its the same thing.

Yeh dude get on propecia as soon as you can wait too long and you will have no choice but to go with dutasteride to get any results, at 17 it's pretty darn aggressive So the sooner the better, If your temples start to go which they should sooner then later get on minoxidil.
