Finasteride for hair loss around ears and at the nape of the neck.

[ThinningHairFML]

Does it work?

I've been pretty rapidly losing hair over the past month or so and have a physical on Friday. I plan on asking for a prescription to Finasteride despite the potential of severe side effects -- my fingers are just crossed that I don't expect anything too terrible.

Thing is, I don't want to bother taking Finasteride if it won't treat my specific hair loss. I'm also having some hair line recession and a bit of thinning on my crown, but it's not TOO bad, I just want to get it under control before it does.

Anybody have experience with this? Thanks.
