Hello, I am experiencing hair loss at the crown, temples, and hair line - the typical male pattern baldness areas. However, I suspect that I am also a diffuse thinner, the sides of my head have definitely decreased in volume. My father has grown up with thin, fine hair since his early twenties and is experiencing male pattern baldness with primarily hair loss at the crown and a receding hair line. I am seventeen years old.
I started to notice my hair loss about a year ago, however, until four months ago the hair loss was no where as severe. I visited a dermatologist and he could only pointed out my evident hair loss but did not prescribe me anything. I went back again to ask for a prescription for Propecia but was declined as it may result in cancer, so he reluctantly gave me a prescription to Minoxidil.
Is it possible to obtain Propecia or finasteride elsewhere, I have a months supply of Minoxidil but would much rather commit to the use of finasteride.
I currently buy 200 mL of liquid minoxidil for $120, how long could this last me and how should I apply it to my scalp?
Thank you in advance,
