    I would shave the whole head I did looks better to me anyways than thinning hair. As for Propecia and hair loss do a search there are other meds that may be a possibility.

    Hair loss on the sides of the head is not normal male pattern baldness. You need to do some research on the types of balding and see if you have a different type. Propecia only helps for normal male pattern baldness.

    Lean..You need to see a Dermatologist ASAP..Losing hair on the sides is very uncommon unless there is an underlying reason..Usually it is a sign of a skin condition or of certain types of alopecia..At any rate, you need to see a Derm because OTC products are not going to help much in this case I'm afraid..

    Rem, I agree it is an effective drug, but upping the doseage you do not get a linear increase in effectiveness for dht suppression. 5mg is for prostate enlargement and is proven safe over 10 year time periods but I would stick to 1.25 mg maybe split a proscar in half for 2.5 if that isn't doing the trick.

    DOc M is right though, he needs to figure out why he has this particular scalp problem and exactly what it is. Proscar/Propecia would do nothing for hair loss in hair that is not sensitive to DHT (on the side of the head). Go make an appoinment with the dermatologist like Doc M said. It would be a smart move. Also look on webmd.com for the different types of alopecia and what treatments are available for them. Good luck.
