Hi,
I'm 26 years old, never really had problems with my hair before.
About 2-3 years ago, began noticing some slight thinning up front (on one side) but put it down to stress (no family history of male pattern baldness).
The thinning became more noticeable to me gradually and I went to seek professional help where I was indeed diagnosed with male pattern baldness.
Immediately went on a regimen of Propecia and rubbing Rogaine on the front, 1 ml. every day (I was told there was some slight barely noticeable thinning at the back but I am using the entire 1 ml. on the front as that's what I can see clearly and am more paranoid about). This was about 4-5 months ago.
What I find is that my temple hair seems to be getting worse - the hair out front is growing back and thickening but the temples seem to be thinning and receding.
Is there anything I can do? I've tried rubbing the Rogaine on my temples and I notice a dark fuzzy patch where I rub the Rogaine a lot but funny enough the area half an inch behind is thinning and losing hair.
Some time in the coming weeks I need to go for a follow up and maybe I should start putting Rogaine out back too but again it seems my baldness is pretty mild right now and I'm hoping the Propecia alone is enough for the back.
