it looks more like female pattern hair loss.

It looks like female pattern loss/Androgenetic Alopecia? I'd get on rogaine and finasteride or dutas asap. The earlier you start the better the results could be.

/sigh female pattern balness, is that normal?

and do i need a prescription for those meds

You need prescription for Propecia.

Um, no. It's just a different pattern of hairloss. The widening of the part(s) is a female type pattern--- which is more diffuse.

You can get generics from inhouse pharmacy or united pharmacies if you don't want to pay for propecia. Many folks get like fincar (generic proscar) and cut it in halves or fourths. I wish I would have found such forums when my loss started to show... now I'm hoping I didn't start treatments too late!

Everyone wishes they started treatments earlier.

does having female pattern baldness instead of male pattern baldness help? or is it worse? women never go completly bald, does that mean i wont completly bald?

 

[Sir Guy of Frizzbourne]

Wow. Biotin. It's incredible to me that in order to obtain drugs like finasteride, we must get a prescription from a doctor. Seems like the person suffering from hairloss typically knows more about it than most doctors.

I know hair loss more than my family Doctor for sure. btw you can get finasteride online without presriptions.

Nobody can tell you if Propecia will work on you, you have to try it yourself, GL!
