Rapid Hair Loss on Propecia

Hi Dr Rassman
Ive been on propecia for over 6 months and in that time my hairloss espically in the front has thinned dramtically much faster than it did in the previous 2 years. Could I be having a bad reaction to propecia?..Would you recommend me quitting trying another product? Im thinking the increased testorone in my body due to the lack of dht may be cuasing me to have a faster rate of frontal loss..its much worse than it was when i started..could it still reocver on propecia? Im just very down about it and regret going on the drug as recommended by a derm i saw this past november..does propecia increase androgens?

You did not state your age, so I am assuming that you are under 28 years old or so. Assuming that you have genetic balding, you probably are seeing an acceleration of the process. If you are in the early 20s, you may be in rapid hair loss and stopping the Propecia may be the worst thing you can do. You need to see a good doctor, document the degree of miniaturization of the scalp and then lay out a plan. It is very hard for me to react to what appears to be a real crisis, without having you in front of me to ask you all types of questions and having the chance to examine you thoroughly.
