I’m Balding But With a Persistent Juvenile Hairline

Hi doctor I’ve seen some pictures of balding men with persistent juvenile hair line in baldingblog. I’m 25 year old and balding exactly the same way

Did they get benefit from finasteride or this type of baldness is not different at all? Thank you

Finasteride (Propecia) mainly works on the top/crown areas of your scalp. It doesn’t really help the front corners or juvenile hairlines. This being said, there are a few men who rarely respond to Propecia. If you choose to take Propecia for a juvenile hairline, it should be discussed with your doctor so your goals and a baseline can be established.

You reported a persistent juvenile hairline, as shown in this post. Take a look at the examples in that link. If you are saying that the blue area is holding up and not balding, but the balding is occurring in the red area, then this is an unusual pattern that I have seen on a number of patients. In those patients with their frontal juvenile hairline holding, I have seen it last decades (men over the age of 50). Balding behind such a juvenile hairline makes the transplant easier and taking finasteride should slow it down or stop it in men of your age.
