Definitely set up an appointment with a hair doctor to figure out what is causing the hair to grow back fine. Many times baby hairs grow because of lack of blood supply to the follicle. There are treatments that can help with this that the doctor can help you with.

When used twice daily, this product has shown it can reduce shedding from male pattern baldness.We have found that it is most effective when you layer it with other modalities such as LLLHT.The gene that causes the problem to begin with is very strong and sometimes just doing 1 thing is not enough.

Body hair loss is not a normal side effect of Propecia but we have heard patients state similar experiences.  If you are concerned follow up with your doctor.
