Hi,
I am 18 and noticed my hair first thinning around 4 months ago. Ever since then things have been going downhill and although I don't have any clearly visible bald spots I am pretty sure I have male pattern baldness. My dad started balding at 18 and went completely bald by 22-f***. I am pretty sure I am heading in that direction, taking into account that everyone on my moms side is in tarzan territory hair wise.
What I am wondering is if a family doctor can just prescribe propecia/proscar or do u have to go to a derm. I am currently just using nizoral shampoo and would like to see how my body reacts to propecia.
Id like to hear some of your experiences on getting prescribed these meds.
