Use of Propecia to prevent hair loss
Hi,
After loosing a significant amount of his frontal scalp hair, my brother is considering use of Propecia for stopping hair loss. He also has excessive hair growth all over his body. I have read that high DHT can cause both of his issues. Will using propecia be useful. How long should/could it be used for? What other things to keep in mind while going for propecia?
Thanks in anticipation.

Donot treat yourself. There should be proper evaluation before any treatment is done for male pattern baldness. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment
