    21 and not sure what to do! Please help!

    I'm 21 and am slowly going bald. I feel like I lost SO much hair in the past year or so. Just back in September of 09 I was able to have a good medium length hair style and it looked pretty good. Now my bangs are SO thin it looks TERRIBLE. I have to resort to combing my hair to the side. I've tried having my hair short but it looks terrible because I have a rather large forehead.

    I am nervous to buy Finasteride online, but I am considering doing so. I hear a lot of good things about inhouse pharmacy.com, but I am still unsure. Is Saw Palmetto still an effective treatment for hair loss? Can this be purchased at any store?

    I don't know what to do. Propecia costs way too much for me at nearly $70 a month (part-time worker/full time college student). I would love to get on Proscar, but I hear that its hard to get a doctor to prescribe this for hair loss. What do you guys recommend I do? I just want to know what steps I should take NOW to make this hair stay for as long as possible.

    Thanks guys for listening and for your help!!

    You can fill out an on line consultation form with many hair transplant clinics and they will provide you with a Rx for Finasteride. At your age and already having hair loss, now is the time to try it. You still have a lot of hair to salvage. Do not wait until you have significant loss before even trying medication.

      That is great news!!! Where can I fill out an online consultation? Will it be any cost to me(not a big deal, just curious).

      Do they mail me a written prescription in which I can send to a reputable pharmacy such as drugstore.com? Or do I have that pharmacy call the doctor who gave me online prescription?

      I hope to hear back from you soon on this matter. Want to get on Finasteride ASAP!

            There is no charge for an on-line consultation. About half of my hair transplant patients come from out of town. I generally only do the on-line consultation with some photos for these patients. www.charleshair.com is the web site where you can fill out a simple form and I will get back to you promptly.

              I just submitted the online consultation. I realized after I sent it that you have one available in which to send pictures. Is there an e-mail you would like me to contact you with pictures associated with my hair loss?

              Now, what exactly are the steps now to receiving a prescription for Generic Finasteride?

              Thank you for your assistance Dr. Charles!

                You can send photos to drgmc@charleshair.com. I will review your information and get back to you regarding the Propecia prescription.

                  Is it possible to get it for Generic Finasteride instead of Propecia?

                        Is it possible to get a prescription for something over the internet if you live in another country?

                        Curious about that...probably not lol

                              Do you want me to re-do the online consultation as well? I can't choose where the online consultation goes.

                              I just re-submitted the e-mail with the pictures included.
