I am currently using Rogaine 5% foam as a treatment. I have attached a picture of my crown. My questions: how severe does my thinning in the crown seem like? A Norwood scale reference would be ideal. I have chosen against Propecia. Do you think my crown will be restored from Minoxodil alone?

Answer: Bald enough to warrant treatment As was mentioned once you can see the scalp you have fallen below 40 / cm2 and in all likelihood in your case closer to 25-30 hair per sq cm. I do not believe that Rogaine alone will increase hair growth but will maintain hair you have. Finasteride does a better job. At 24 I am always a little loathe to start with hair transplants without a definitive plan for the next 10-15 years. You are the type of patient I would try PRP on for 3 treatments. This can be combined with topical treatment and even laser caps. Only then would I start with surgical therapies. Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton Florida

Answer: Crown balding This finding at your age suggests that you may have significantly more balding as you get older. See a doctor and build a Master Plan with that doctor that accounts for the short and long term changes that you are undergoing. Your frontal hairline needs to be examined closely by an expert.
