Where do I start?

[Mr B]

Ok finally come to realise that my hairline is receeding not terribly but to a point where I am becoming more conscious about it.

I've had a small 'widows peak' since birth but it's definately going further back now and the hair on top is thinning a little. (Hairdresser was kind enough to point it out to me last cut) Although I don't seem to notice hair loss other than when washing it??

I've had a GOOD look on this site and there is a wealth of information stores etc, but there IS so much that I'm not really sure where or what to start with!

Next problem is I am in Australia and I don't know where to obtain many of the products mentioned here other than rogain. I'm sure I could get them, but if anyone (particularly in Aus) could tell me whether I need prescriptions etc would be appreciated.

Realistically I am wanting to hopefully stop my recession and maybe 'undo' it above my temples, I understand that rogain isn't designed to re-grow hair just prevent it worsening?
I beleive maybe a dermatologist maybe able to help, but where I live is difficult to get to one.

So thats where I'm at, can anyone offer a suggestion as to where to start, I'd be greatful!

Thanks in advance.

Mr B

hey MrB, im from Aus to and you can get everything you need. You can pick up nizoral from your local pharmact along with rogain. I wouldnt suggest using rogain if you havent lost much yet, maybe look into using propecia 1 mg daily. you could get it off the net or get a prescription from your doctor.
Good luck

With the Finasteride, you want to see if you can get a doctor to write you a prescription for Proscar instead of Propecia. Both Proscar and Propecia are EXACTLY the same drug (Finasteride). The difference is Propecia is a 1mg tab FDA approved for Androgenetic Alopecia and Proscar is a 5mg tab FDA approved for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). What you then do is cut the Proscar into 1/4ths or 1/5ths. This way you get 4months or more out of a bottle rather then just one month.
