Asked By:gavi002

Hi Doc! Will i be able to know if it's okay to start using finestiride for male pattern baldness! I am 24 and seriously affected by male pattern baldness, I tried minoxdil where it made by hair fall worse by dandruff, my problem for now is that will I be able to use finestiride until I go through a transplant or prp! Will it help me to recover atleast few of my loss hair? Do I need to refer any doctor for this? (Which I won't find here) Or is there any other medicine that will prevent the same?
