recent hair loss

Question
I have recently started losing my hair is the above the temples in the front of my head. I am 26 years old. From all I have read propecia and rogaine do not work in this area. Will propecia work in stopping of slowing my hair recession in this area. I am not necessarily looking for hair regrowth but want to stop any further recession. Also would it help to use the rogaine foam.


Answer
Propecia does work to stop the balding process all over the head, front and back. The studies were done only on the back because it was easier to do but the FDA required the company to repeat the tests and measure the effect on the front in order to claim it works. I strongly suggest you give it a try for a year and see if it doesn't stop your loss. I have seen young men such as yourself actually grow back much of the hair they lost in the previous three years.
