Is their any safe treatments for frontal hair loss other than using rogaine (minoxidil)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Propecia (finasteride): Propecia (finasteride) can be very helpful for frontal hair loss. A review of other medications (interactions) plus bloodwork should be done prior to starting it. Less than 1% can have sexual side effects (decr libido).
