Accelerated Loss from Propecia?

HI Dr. William Rassman. I read in many places that propecia can make the frontal hairline/temples recede. Is it true or is it a myth? Coincidently my temple was a NW 1.5 2 month before propecia. Now it’s diffusing in a strange way. thanks

I am unaware of any reports that Propecia will accelerate temples recession. I am assuming that you are a young man (Norwood 1.5-2) and one of the things that you must recognize is that 95% of Caucasian young men (also true of other races but a smaller percentage) will change their hairlines as they mature. This maturation process certainly moves in the direction of a Norwood 2 – 2.5 range. This is not balding, but normal maturation which occurs between the ages of 18-29 in men. The other 5% or less of Caucasians are like Bill Clinton, where they keep their childhood hairline and remain as they were at 12 years old. Best to be sure that you understand the difference between normal maturation of the hairline as seen in your genetic family connections and the balding process itself.
