I have no history of balding in my family and this cowlick looking thing has always been present but now that I have taken a closer look at it I am paranoid that it is getting bigger or becoming a bald spot.

Dear Pastafanatic99,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. I suggest that you start Finasteride and Minoxidil, as they are the only two medications for hair loss approved by the FDA. For women of child-bearing age, I use spironolactone instead of finasteride. Both medications have...
It can take up to 6 months to see results with Minoxidil. I suggest a consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in hair restoration and maintenance. Some great options for hair restoration and maintenance are prp injections which can stimulate hair growth. Hope this helps.
Finasteride is not going to have an effect on your future children as we understand the drug now. As you are aware, it is extremely important not to become pregnant while using the medication nor within the first 2 months of stopping the drug.
