Hey there, sorry for the late reply. Well I should note that where I live you can't buy brand name finasteride only the generic finpecia. Yes I was born with quite a pronounced widows peak. When I first noticed it it was eating me up alive but I guess I have gotten over that initial shock stage now. It was more a feeling that I didn't want to be the only bald guy in my family of 5 brothers and all the cousins with hair. Well I went to the Derm because I knew something was up and my scalp was itching like hell with little pimples developing along the hairline where I experienced loss. The bad thing with a receding hairline and having a natural widow's peak, it makes it look much worse than it probably is. At least I am lucky that there are no NW6/7 in my family. Who knows I just may end up being a NW3 and stay that way for the rest of my life. This is so difficult to predict, but good luck to you and keep the faith.
