It's a 3 month supply. The expiration for the foam is the middle of next year. I'm in Canada so I had it shipped from the USA because I have not seen it in stores here. Should I just start using it or go see a doctor before starting? I have not had the reason for my hair loss diagnosed by anyone yet. I'm pretty sure it's male pattern baldness. I'm thinking I should see a Doctor first. What do you think? And do I need to see a specialty doctor of some sort? Thanks for your help in advance.

If you are in Canada, go see Dr Rahal and let him do a evaluation for your hair. Just let him know you want to see what your options are now and in your future. Otherwise, see a reputable doctor for your situation. Don't self diagnose and don't let the forum diagnose. I learned the hard way and I regret not seeing a reputable doctor. My dermatologist never mapped me out for miniaturization. She gave me Propecia. I agree with Rassman. Its best to have a master plan for your future.

Do I have to see a dermatologist about it?
